BCF has extensive experience in structuring, negotiating and documenting domestic and cross-border financing transactions, on a secured or unsecured basis.

We regularly represent lenders and borrowers in virtually every type of commercial lending transaction including traditional commercial loans, asset-based loans, equipment leasing, real estate financing, securitization conduits and other forms of structured finance.

We advise our clients with respect to all types of loan related documentation such as inter-creditor agreements, collateral agency agreements, subordination agreements, third-party waivers, letters of credit and many others.

Our cross-border expertise is frequently called upon during financing transactions. The financial institutions we act for require us to understand and navigate between the legal similarities and differences in the U.S. and Canadian lending environments.

Our banking and finance partners staff each transaction with experienced professionals and remain involved from start to finish. Given the sophistication of our clients and the level of legal services they require, this approach distinguishes us from other law firms and enables us to efficiently provide the experience that our clients expect.

We pride ourselves on providing a practical and pragmatic approach to solving complex problems and closing high-level transactions while respecting our clients’ time requirement.
