Larry G. Halperin

Partner

Larry G. Halperin specializes in financial restructuring of distressed companies, high yield and distressed debt transactions, commercial lending transactions and event-driven mergers and acquisitions. He typically represents private funds, investment banks and financial institutions in connection with their investments in, and financings transactions to, mid-cap companies. He also represents clients in the acquisition of owner participant interests and loans secured by aircraft.

As a natural outgrowth of his restructuring practice, Mr. Halperin counsels clients who desire to acquire portfolio companies in need of restructuring by acquiring a majority of the distressed debt.

He has presented at various conferences on such topics as Loan To Own Strategies-An Alternative to Bankruptcy, Fiduciary Duties Of Officers and Directors Of Companies In The Zone Of Insolvency, and Intercreditor Issues Between First and Second Lien Lenders.
