Financing

We assist numerous SMEs and family-owned companies in the analysis of their existing financing and the evolution of their needs, the structuring and implementation of their new financing, but also in the analysis and reorganization of their intra-group flows or their interest rate or exchange rate hedging problems. In this respect, NH Law has assisted its clients in numerous issues of listed and unlisted EURO PPs, Neu CPs, straight bonds or bonds giving direct or indirect access to capital, as well as in numerous syndicated loans, bilateral loans, project financing, export credits, documentary credits, EURO PP loans, bonding lines and Schuldschein financing.

NH Law has a strong reputation for assisting clients with complex structured finance transactions and assists clients, both borrowers and lenders, including domestic and international mezzanine and private debt funds, in structuring large-scale financings and refinancings in the context of LBO transactions, corporate financings and asset financings, particularly in the form of bonds.

We also assist our clients in the renegotiation of financings made necessary by changes in the borrower’s situation (transforming acquisition, merger, spin-off, but also in the context of the recasting of covenants in the event of a deteriorated financial situation).
