McGuireWoods LLP

McGuireWoods' practice includes debt finance and government investigations, serving financial institutions, businesses, and individuals. Its financing work covers secured and unsecured credit arrangements, acquisition financing, and transactions involving real estate or cross-border structures. Clients described in its materials include banks, private equity firms, and other financial institutions.

The debt finance practice addresses syndicated and bilateral loans, cash-flow and asset-based facilities, letters of credit, and second-lien, mezzanine, or subordinated financing. These structures require lawyers to consider the different rights and priorities of lenders and other capital providers. The transaction's purpose and collateral shape the legal documentation.

On the disputes and regulatory side, the firm's Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Department represents clients in federal and state civil and criminal investigations and enforcement matters. For students, these capabilities show distinct paths within the same platform: financing business activity and advising clients when that activity comes under governmental scrutiny.
