Pepe & Hazard represents investors and lenders, as well as issuers and borrowers, in the complete spectrum of finance transactions.  Our practice covers the capital structure, from secured and unsecured loans and other debt investments, to tax-motivated and structured financings, to mezzanine and hybrid debt-equity financings, to private equity and venture capital investments.  Our clients range from major insurance companies, banks, pension and investment funds, SBICs and other lenders to middle-market companies.  We represent clients on transactions in all industries and around the globe.  Our advice doesn't stop when the deal closes; we frequently represent clients in connection with post-closing amendments or changes to deal terms and their eventual exits from the deal.

In addition to providing top quality advice and first-rate legal services in structuring, documenting, negotiating and closing our transactions, we keep our focus on fully understanding and achieving the client's business and financial strategy and goals.  We keep abreast of not only legal developments, but of economic developments and business trends as well.  We seek to avoid and eliminate problems, and to find prompt, creative solutions to those problems that do arise.  While protecting our clients' interests, we add value by facilitating the timely progress of the transaction as efficiently as possible and getting the deal done.
