The lawyers in Alston & Bird’s Global Finance and Debt Products Group have broad experience with the financing of investment grade companies.  Strengthening this experience is our balance of counseling both a wide range of financial institutions and a diverse group of investment grade companies, many among the Fortune 100.

We provide excellent service to clients, whether the provider or user of debt capital, not only by drawing on our command of market practices unique to investment grade companies but also with our appreciation of the context of the complex setting in which a financing often takes place.  Whether the financing of an acquisition or a tax-driven restructuring, the lawyers in our Global Finance and Debt Products Group can bring to bear the skills of attorneys in the firm’s many other practice areas to facilitate the execution on the strategic goals of the client.
