Corporate Trust

Overview

We solve problems for corporate trustees and clients in complex bond and structured products matters, and for financial institutions in their capacities as trustees, indenture trustees, collateral agents, administrative agents, master servicers, and securities administrators. Keeping our focus on your business, we help you navigate an increasingly scrutinized environment. We work with the capital markets at both debt issuance and post-default, and we unite attorneys across skill sets — finance, litigation, default, and restructuring — to address your unique needs. We aim to maximize recovery for certificate holders and bondholders, while also working for full protection for corporate trustees. Our experience includes litigation related to the structure of trust-preferred securities, defense of corporate trustees against breach of fiduciary duty claims, litigation over intercreditor subordination issues, sale leaseback transactions, recharacterization, and contract interpretation, in addition to cross-border bankruptcies as well as those involving project finance and asset-backed securities. Whether you’re dealing with actual or potential defaults, disputes with holders or issuers, ambiguities and inconsistencies in trust documents, or trust administration and transaction issues, we collaborate with you to provide consistent, knowledgeable counsel in an ever-changing marketplace.
