Blank Rome LLP

Blank Rome LLP‘s practice is led by a highly experienced leadership advising lenders, private equity sponsors, and financial institutions on complex domestic and cross-border credit transactions. The group is anchored by New York-based chair Lawrence Flick who serves as primary national counsel to financial institutions and private equity funds on leveraged finance, asset-based lending, restructurings, securitizations, and M&A finance. Philadelphia-based co-chair Kevin Baum focuses on commercial finance, asset-based lending, acquisition financing, and restructurings, advising banks, mezzanine lenders, and portfolio companies on secured transactions and workouts. Rounding out this leadership is Philadelphia-based Heather Sonnenberg, who focuses on commercial and asset-based financing across sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, and services, representing lenders and sponsors in cash-flow, real estate, and warehouse financing. Back in New York, Harris Diamond advises financial institutions on secured and unsecured lending, restructuring, intercreditor matters, and debtor-in-possession and exit financings, with a focus on complex syndicated and cross-border transactions.
