Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP‘s finance department is a key point of contact for lender-side financing, and leverages a sizeable presence in the syndicated lending market, particularly those requiring expertise in multiple jurisdictions. The New York-based practice is headed by Jason Kyrwood, a highly well-regarded name for multijurisdictional financing transactions, boasting over 30 years’ experience in advising multinational banks on syndicated loans, acquisition and asset-based financing, along with leveraged and investment-grade loans. James Florack is a port of call for asset-based lending, credit and term loans and distressed financing across the technology, healthcare and automotive industries. Meyer Dworkin is retained to advise on a number of cross-border financing transactions, and is experienced in leveraged and investment-grade lending, acquisition and asset-based financing, along with commodity-based syndicated facilities. Vanessa Jackson is frequently sought by clients for her expertise in working capital loans, exit financing and, in particular, high-stakes acquisition finance. Kenneth Steinberg and Scott Herrig are both proficient in asset-based facilities, while Christopher Nairn-Kim handles both secured and unsecured financing. Sanders Witkow is favored for cross-border financing, while David Hahn remains highly active in distressed financing. Robert Morrison joined the team in August 2025.
