Key Additional Legal Services for Vantage Data Centers Project Financing
We can provide integrated finance services to Vantage Data Centers, enabling you to effectively execute debt financings across the capital structure, including your most complex domestic and cross-border financings. By capitalizing on our Firm’s expertise in all major debt finance products, retaining a local focus where appropriate, and combining deep legal and market knowledge with our extensive global network, we can serve as a global strategic partner.
We have extensive experience advising on construction lending to all sectors. We represent borrowers on a variety of large loan transactions, including acquisition loans, construction loans, mini-perm and other bridge loans and permanent loans of many types, including first and second lien loans, mezzanine debt, A/B note structures and loans with “equity kickers.” We work with our clients to develop financing structures tailored to the client’s business plans, including diversifying capital sources and leveraging available capital and lower cost of fund solutions. We partner with our real estate finance colleagues to develop financing solutions Vantage can offer its clients.
We understand what options are open to borrowers and what terms are likely to be acceptable to lenders and other debt providers — whether in a syndication or marketing process or in a private transaction. Additionally, our extensive private equity, fund formation and secondaries experience provides critical insights on challenges specific to investment funds.
Our strategic advice helps clients consider what is possible for any given transaction, what the downsides of any particular approach may be, and what alternatives might be available. Regardless of the complexity of a transaction and jurisdictions involved, our Borrower Finance team offers unique, comprehensive solutions for corporations and sponsors.
