Acquisition Finance

Simpson Thacher has a leading practice in acquisition finance. We are one of a select group of law firms that regularly serve as lead bank counsel for large syndicated acquisition financings or represent the largest and most sophisticated financial sponsors and other corporate borrowers in financing some of the largest acquisitions in the last decade. Our extensive acquisition finance experience enables us to guide clients through the challenges of financing transactions even in a challenging credit environment.

“Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is a first port of call for a number of global banks and private equity houses, advising the former on the structuring of high value syndicated loans and the latter on both private credit arrangements and syndicated acquisition finance deals.”
The Legal 500 United States 2024

Capitalizing on the Firm’s experience in banking and credit, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions, we advise clients at all stages of the acquisition financing process and address at each stage the complexities and other issues that commonly arise in this type of financing. We provide services across a range of disciplines within the Firm in a seamless fashion to deliver an exceptional and user-friendly product to clients.
