Osler advises both borrowers and lenders in structuring, negotiating and documenting a wide array of domestic and multi-jurisdictional asset-based lending (ABL) transactions — from sponsor-led acquisitions to debtor-in-possession and exit transactions.
We understand the legal and practical issues involved in these collateral-based financings. Our ABL group has deep industry experience and has advised clients in implementing ABL solutions in such diverse sectors as industrial, manufacturing, retail, distribution, consumer products, forestry, steel, technology and software, oil and gas, and airline industries.
Our ABL team works closely with lawyers in our insolvency and restructuring group, with extensive collaboration between teams to advise clients from deal inception to exit.
