About Geoff AuYeung

Geoff AuYeung negotiates and structures loans for leading lenders in middle-market financing. Working with a number of leading players in the space keeps Geoff well informed about market trends. He leverages that knowledge to provide practical, data-driven business advice.

Knowledge that makes deals happen

Clients benefit not only from Geoff's knowledge of the lending business, but also from his relationships with borrowers' attorneys. He frequently represents banks that provide financing to private equity sponsors, particularly in the healthcare sector. Geoff regularly encounters the same sponsor counsel across the table and has come to understand their needs, wants and pressure points in loan negotiation. This helps him reach deals that satisfy all parties.

Those relationships served him well, for example, when he handled four deals in one year for a lender client with the same private equity sponsor. Geoff is fluent in Mandarin.
