Private Credit

We help clients navigate the challenges inherent in structuring and executing complex and time pressured private credit transactions.

Reed Smith’s dedicated international private credit practice draws on the firm’s long history of advising clients throughout the global financial markets to provide strategic and focused advice to lenders, funds, asset managers and borrowers across Europe, the Middle East, the United States and Asia.

We work alongside our experienced and highly-regarded funds finance, structured finance, fund formation, regulatory and tax practices, providing seamless financing advice across the capital structure – for performing and non-performing assets.

As a trusted adviser to direct lenders, multi-strategy funds, financial sponsors and borrowers, we have the experience needed to provide our clients with a comprehensive and commercial perspective on negotiating up to date deal terms. 

Our global coverage and broad technical strength positions Reed Smith as one of a small number of firms which is able to advise on private credit transactions of all sizes and structures. However, it is our deep knowledge across our dedicated industry sector groups which truly positions us as a leader in our field.   
 
Offering a deep understanding of a wide range of private credit structures and themes, our private credit lawyers support clients with asset-based loans, convertible debt offerings, direct lending, NAV financing, preferred equity, real estate finance, recurring revenue loans, special situations, and specialty and subordinated financing. 

Where we do not have a dedicated Reed Smith office, we have established working relationships with a range of local counsel in the principal jurisdictions where funds or their general partners are located, to provide seamless advice to clients through one experienced and dedicated point of contact.. 

 

"Reed Smith is an exceptional team with a strong global network that provides a great service."
