Secured Transactions

Our attorneys have deep experience advising on the creation, perfection, and enforcement of security interests in personal property, with a particular focus on Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Our secured transactions practice supports lenders, borrowers, investors, and law firms nationwide in navigating complex collateral structures across a wide range of asset classes.

We regularly advise clients on the structuring and documentation of secured lending transactions, including the analysis of collateral packages involving investment securities, deposit accounts, intellectual property, inventory, equipment, receivables, and other forms of personal property.

Our team is nationally recognized for its work in delivering high-quality legal opinions on matters of security interest creation, attachment, and perfection. We frequently prepare and negotiate opinion letters in connection with multi-jurisdictional financings, intercreditor arrangements, and capital market transactions, and regularly coordinate with lead and local counsel in the representation of their clients.

We also have significant experience with specialized collateral regimes, including transactions involving aircraft, intellectual property, and other assets governed by federal law or industry-specific regulation. We are well-versed in cross-border perfection issues and routinely handle lien filings, UCC searches, and documentation audits across multiple jurisdictions.
