Akin’s Private Credit Practice:

• Credit is in our DNA. We work with the most active private credit investors in the market—including half of Private Debt Investor’s Top 100 globally—structuring novel private debt investments.
• As the market for direct lending has exploded in size and sophistication, Akin’s global private credit team has helped many of the most sophisticated credit investors to build their position in the market from the ground up.
• We structure novel investments in companies seeking flexible financing and in unconventional and opportunistic financings. These include front-end investments in companies with limited access to syndicated bank finance markets, middle market and large-cap direct lending transactions to fund acquisitions or working capital needs, and funding growth capital transactions for companies in emerging sectors.
• With decades of experience working with many of the credit world’s pioneering investors, Akin’s platform is designed to provide a one-stop shop to the private credit markets. Our private credit practice is ranked by Chambers and includes several individually Chambers-ranked practitioners in the finance sector.
• Our private credit team includes tax, healthcare, international trade, labour, real estate and fund structuring lawyers who work closely with credit investors and have an extensive understanding of the needs of those investors deploying capital in today’s fast-evolving financial markets.
