Focusing on the representation of public company and private equity portfolio borrowers in cash-flow and asset-based financings, Kim partners with CFOs, treasurers, controllers and in-house counsel on the negotiation and documentation of revolving, bridge and term loan facilities, including acquisition financings, recapitalizations and “going private” transactions. Additionally, she represents residential mortgage servicers and lenders in financing servicing advance receivables and servicing rights.
