FINANCING

FINANCING

Bredin Prat's principal focus in financing work is to provide the required  advice and support to its clients in relation to the financing of their acquisitions.

Increasingly, this focus comprises a wide range of finance arrangements, including:

- bilateral and syndicated bank credits

- multi-tranched leveraged financings, including the related intercreditor
  arrangements

- convertible, exchangeable and straight bond issues, both senior
  and subordinated

- related derivative instruments and the supporting security
  and guarantee packages.

Bredin Prat's focus and experience in financing transactions are based partly upon the integration of the French law teams of Slaughter and May's Paris office. As part of this integration, Slaughter and May maintains an English law financing team on Bredin Prat premises working with Bredin Prat on selected "integrated team” acquisition finance transactions.

This Bredin Prat/Slaughter and May combined financing law capability allows us to act in transactions requiring both French and English law advice. 

Bredin Prat's capacity to provide financing advice in Paris, coupled with its strong relations with other leading European law firms, has strengthened its focus on acquisition finance and reinforced its ability to take on a broader spectrum of finance work (including project finance techniques and securitization structures).
