Areas of Expertise


Traditional Assets

We have significant experience and involvement with traditional securitization asset classes such as mortgages (first and junior lien); automobile and light duty trucks, RV contract receivables, auto and commercial vehicle leases; and accounts receivable.


Entertainment Royalties

Restructuring

Our firm has deep experience with filmed and  TV royalty and related receivables, including agents’ commissions, as well as music royalties and virtual print fees.


Oil & Gas

Our team has also advised clients—creditors, including ad hoc committees, debtors and special committees on both out of court and formal restructurings, in the US and internationally.

The emergence of Oil & Gas royalty securitizations has been an important financing avenue for this critical industry and our team has been on the front lines of these transactions.



Other

Our team has advised clients on a myriad of emerging asset classes, including trade-mark royalties, patent royalties, life settlement programs, fintech originated financial assets of many types, and derivative based securitizations.
