Ryan represents financial institutions and corporate borrowers in a wide range of structured finance transactions. He advises clients on the structuring and negotiation of asset-backed facilities and subscription credit lines for private equity, real estate investment, umbrella fund, and hedge fund borrowers. Ryan’s practice also includes advising on collateralized loan obligations and the purchase and sale of financial assets.

The landscape of subscription line lending is undergoing significant transformation, with both private credit funds (PCFs) and traditional banks playing crucial roles. PCFs, which pool capital from institutional and high-net-worth investors, are increasingly becoming key players in providing credit facilities to private equity firms, secured by investor commitments. This shift introduces new dynamics alongside traditional banks, which have historically dominated this space. While PCFs offer greater flexibility and customized financial solutions due to fewer regulatory constraints, traditional banks bring extensive experience and stability, relying on deposits and adhering to regulatory requirements. Together, these entities are reshaping the subscription line market, offering diverse options for borrowers.
