Cross-border insight with lender and borrower perspectives

Drawing on experience representing both lenders and borrowers across North America and Europe, Alexander helps clients efficiently structure and execute transactions, anticipate market terms and navigate intercreditor dynamics with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.

Broad middle-market private credit practice

Alexander's practice spans cash flow and asset-based lending, syndicated and club facilities, fund financings, real estate financings, secured and unsecured debt, and first-lien/second-lien and unitranche structures.
