Steven

Steve Seif represents providers of credit in complex financial transactions and skillfully navigates clients through workouts and restructurings.

Banks, finance companies, factors, mezzanine lenders and other creditors throughout the U.S. rely on Steve’s decades of experience to guide them through complex refinancings, acquisition financings, and multi-lender and multi-borrower transactions involving both privately held and public companies.

Steve has worked with many of the same clients for decades because, he says, they know that “I’m efficient, protective of their interests, and get the deal done quickly in the way that has been internally approved.” He has been told by borrowers in transactions that he is tough but fair and the most practical lawyer they know, and he is proud that his involvement makes borrowers want to do business with his clients again and again.

Always ready to share what he has learned over a long career; Steve lectures on matters of interest to financial institutions and professional organizations and serves on educational panels and as part of in-house presentations for clients. He has published articles in the National Law Journal, the UCC Law Journal and contributed to Asset Based Financing: A Transactional Guide, published by Matthew Bender & Company.

Steve is a past president of the national Association of Commercial Finance Attorneys, whose members are in-house attorneys and attorneys in private practice with national and international experience in middle-market commercial credit transactions and commercial bankruptcy matters.
