Securitization and structured finance transactions allow banks, lenders, finance companies and other companies to manage balance sheets through on-balance-sheet debt or off-balance-sheet sale transaction structures with tax aspects often beneficial to investors. Financing structures permitted under these types of transactions also assist borrowers with managing their interest rate exposure. Stinson Leonard Street attorneys have the experience to provide sophisticated, timely and cost-effective representation in asset securitizations and structured finance transactions as well as managing the assets post-securitization.
