United States > Finance > Commercial lending
(Leading lawyers)Shearman & Sterling LLP is active on both sides of financings, and particularly notable for advising lenders on investment-grade and leveraged transactions, with Citigroup and Credit Suisse standout names among a client list composed largely of major banks, while the team has also extended its offering to a growing list of alternative lenders in recent years. These clients most frequently consult the team, which works closely with its peer office in London, on domestic and cross-border acquisition financings. Situated on the East Coast, the team is co-led from New York by Alan Rockwell, who regularly represents the firm’s major banking clients in acquisition finance negotiations, and Michael Chernick, who frequently advises on incremental financings. Also in New York, Maura O’Sullivan is a key contact for cross-border leveraged loans. Tomasz Kulawik, who divides his time between New York and DC, is also recommended.
