Partner / Practice Group Co-leader, Global Finance
Rob Drobnak has significant experience in the structuring, negotiating, and documentation of credit facilities for acquisitions, working capital, and other general corporate purposes. Rob’s strong acumen around the entire life-cycles of finance transactions, including the negotiation, structuring, and documentation of deals from inception to close, during growth and workout phases and in sale, foreclosure, and other exit scenarios, helps clients to successfully navigate unexpected obstacles and achieve their goals. Rob also represents borrowers, lenders, and investors in out-of-court workouts, restructurings, debtor-in-possession financings, and distressed investments regardless of involvement in the original transaction.
I represent banks and other financial institutions and funds in lending and debt-restructuring transactions, with extensive experience in cash-flow loans, ABLs, debtor-in-possession financings, senior and mezzanine facilities, out-of-court workouts and restructurings, and real estate transactions. I focus primarily on middle market transactions, but also represent parties in large-cap deals.
In addition to working for financing sources, I represent private equity portfolio companies and corporate borrowers in their commercial and acquisition financing, securitization, and distressed investment matters.
Some engagements prior to joining Nixon Peabody are included.
