Structured Finance & Asset-Based Finance

Akin’s structured finance & asset-based finance lawyers advise private credit investors, asset managers, insurers, banks, specialty finance companies, originators and issuers on complex structured finance, asset-based finance and securitization transactions.

Our team brings a distinctive perspective to these markets, grounded in deep experience across the credit and broader investment management landscape. Clients turn to Akin when structured credit, private capital and regulatory complexity converge.

We combine transaction execution experience across a wide range of products and asset classes with an interdisciplinary approach to structuring bespoke and complex transactions, working seamlessly with Akin’s premier regulatory practices and specialty teams to structure transactions with a clear view of the full legal and commercial architecture of a deal.

We routinely partner with our market-leading financial restructuring and special situations practices to navigate structured finance considerations in the bankruptcy and distressed context.

Akin lawyers bring a global perspective to securitization and structured transactions, with experience advising clients across the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. That cross-border experience informs our work on transactions involving diverse legal regimes, investor bases and market dynamics, including U.S., U.K. and EU investor-access and regulatory considerations, risk retention, due diligence, transparency, reporting and other cross-border structuring issues.
