Tim advises clients in the negotiation and documentation of a broad array of corporate and project financings.

What types of clients do you represent?

In the area of business transactions, I represent clients across a wide range of industries, including independent power production, heavy manufacturing, retail, and construction.
What type of matters do you work on most often?

My primary areas of focus have been on mergers and acquisitions within heavily regulated sectors, specializing in auction-based transactions, and corporate and project financings within the independent power production and construction industries. In each area, I guide my clients through each phrase of the transactional process from beginning to end.
What do you see on the horizon in your area of practice?

With the recent extension of federal energy tax credits, we will see more deal flow in the renewable energy sector. In addition, as debt markets continue to expand and interest rates remain attractive, we will see more debt financing across all sectors, with a special emphasis on personal relationships between banker and borrower.
What do you find most exciting about your work?

As business transactions become more complex and as clients require more efficiency, great opportunities for legal creativity will arise. Moreover, this unique environment provides a remarkable framework for building deep relationships with clients.
