He leans on that earned experience to help companies in the banking, private equity, and energy industries serve their customers, take care of their employees, and thrive in any business environment.

They trust Brent to listen closely, to understand their goals, and to execute their most important transactions in a seamless, practical, and business-minded manner. A good portion of Brent’s clients seek his counsel in connection with fund finance, including capital commitment-secured credit facilities, NAV credit facilities, hybrid subscription facilities, management lines of credit, general partner financings and employee co-investment facilities. Brent is a noted voice in the fund finance arena, has published numerous articles on fund finance topics, including with Law360 and Bloomberg Law, and has served as a panel moderator at the Fund Finance Association’s Global Symposium. Brent leverages this expertise and thought leadership to help his clients navigate the most complicated and cutting-edge fund financing structures. Brent takes great interest in other sections of the finance industry as well, such as energy finance, credit facilities to midstream companies; cash-flow facilities, including investment-grade and other corporate finance transactions; and asset-based facilities, including asset-based lending, leveraged finance, acquisition finance, and project finance.
