Strategic Legal Counsel for Financing Transactions
Access to capital shapes what a company can become. Manning Fulton’s corporate finance attorneys represent borrowers, lenders, investors, and portfolio companies across the full spectrum of private debt and equity transactions, from emerging growth companies and venture-backed startups to established businesses and the financial institutions that fund them.
From initial investment through refinancing, recapitalization, or exit, we provide practical guidance grounded in deep experience with financing markets and transaction structures. Our attorneys partner closely with clients to structure, negotiate, and document financing arrangements that align with broader business objectives.
We are also proud to serve as outside general counsel to many portfolio companies, advising on commercial contracts, corporate governance, executive compensation and incentive plans, intellectual property, tax, and related matters.

Both Sides of the Transaction
We represent both borrowers seeking capital and the financial institutions and private lenders providing it, including angel investors, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, and corporate strategic investors. This dual perspective allows us to anticipate issues early, move transactions forward efficiently, and structure deals that reflect current market practices.
Collaborative by Design
Financing transactions rarely happen in isolation. Manning Fulton’s attorneys work alongside investment bankers, accountants, financial advisors, and in-house counsel to help clients evaluate alternatives and implement financing strategies that are commercially practical and legally sound.
