Alan Wong LLP advises borrowers, lenders, and investors on a broad range of financing transactions, including bank loans, syndicated facilities, convertible notes, bonds, and equity financings. Our practice spans both secured and unsecured lending, with particular experience in leveraged and acquisition finance for private equity-backed transactions.
