(Leading lawyers)Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP maintains clients on both sides of the debt finance market, with its notable borrower-side activities centered around high-value acquisition financings. Within this space, the team has conducted significant LBOs and advised on major take-private acquisitions. The firm boasts a large roster of private equity clients, serving as go-to counsel for Platinum Equity, and notably assisted corporate borrower Take-Two Interactive Software with a $2.7bn financing commitment for the acquisition of Zynga. In addition to acquisition financing work, the team also frequently assists investment-grade companies with asset-based loans and credit facility amendments. New York lawyers Andres Mena and Viktor Okasmaa co-lead the practice and are active on the firm’s most complex and high-value acquisition financing work. Outside New York, Archie Fallon and Jay Hughes are key names in a growing Houston-based team that advises borrowers in the energy sector, while Chicago-based Melainie Mansfield and Los Angeles-based Najeh Baharun are also recommended. Chicago-based associate Timothy Landwehr joined the team in May 2023.
