Institutional Private Placements

Through institutional private placements, investors and institutions can access a broad range of financing opportunities and execute deals more rapidly and with less expense than traditional publicly registered securities offerings.

Institutional private placements provide increased flexibility. The securities can be secured or unsecured, and structured in a number of different ways. They also do not require registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Our institutional private placements team—which includes more than 20 lawyers in New York, London, Dubai and Frankfurt—has a deep and unparalleled understanding, spanning more than 40 years, of the private placement market and how clients can benefit from its flexibility. We work with clients to develop commercial solutions and get difficult deals done.
