What does a Banking, Finance & Restructuring practice actually cover?

It covers the full financing lifecycle — from structuring and negotiating new credit facilities through amendments, additional financing, refinancing, liability management, workouts, enforcement and financial restructuring. At Averites, this includes both healthy financings and distressed situations, for borrowers, lenders and investors alike.

Which jurisdictions does Averites advise on for financing transactions?

Our lawyers act on domestic and cross-border transactions involving the United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and other international markets, coordinating corporate, tax, regulatory, restructuring and disputes considerations where financing arrangements span multiple jurisdictions.

Is financing documentation just about the amount and cost of capital?

No. Financing documentation determines substantially more — it establishes the borrower’s operating flexibility, the lender’s protection against downside risk, the priority of competing creditors, the circumstances in which financing can be accelerated or restructured and the remedies available if the transaction does not perform as expected.

Does Averites represent borrowers, lenders, or both?

Both, and the priorities differ accordingly. For borrowers and sponsors, we focus on obtaining capital on terms that preserve appropriate flexibility for the business and its future transactions. For lenders and investors, we focus on credit protection, priority, collateral, information rights, covenant protection and enforceability.

What happens if a borrower becomes financially distressed?

Where a business becomes stressed or distressed, our finance and disputes capabilities allow us to advise on both consensual solutions and enforcement strategies. We work with companies, boards, creditors, investors and other stakeholders to assess the capital structure, available liquidity, contractual leverage and alternatives for preserving or recovering value.

Does Averites only get involved once a financing problem has already arisen?

No. We advise across the full financing lifecycle, starting from the structuring and negotiation of the original credit facility — this proactive involvement is what allows terms to remain workable if circumstances later change.

OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Financing and Restructuring Matters

Advising Across the Full Financing Lifecycle

We advise across the financing lifecycle, from the structuring and negotiation of new credit facilities through amendments, additional financing, refinancing, liability management, workouts, enforcement and financial restructuring. Our lawyers act on domestic and cross-border transactions involving the United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and other international markets and coordinate corporate, tax, regulatory, restructuring and disputes considerations where financing arrangements span multiple jurisdictions.
What Financing Documentation Actually Determines

Financing documentation determines substantially more than the amount and cost of capital. It establishes the borrower’s operating flexibility, the lender’s protection against downside risk, the priority of competing creditors, the circumstances in which financing can be accelerated or restructured and the remedies available if the transaction does not perform as expected.
A Commercial Perspective for Both Sides of the Table

We approach financing transactions from that broader commercial perspective. For borrowers and sponsors, we focus on obtaining capital on terms that preserve appropriate flexibility for the business and its future transactions. For lenders and investors, we focus on credit protection, priority, collateral, information rights, covenant protection and enforceability.
Advising When a Business Becomes Stressed or Distressed

Where a business becomes stressed or distressed, our finance and disputes capabilities allow us to advise on both consensual solutions and enforcement strategies. We work with companies, boards, creditors, investors and other stakeholders to assess the capital structure, available liquidity, contractual leverage and alternatives for preserving or recovering value.
