Frederick Fisher is a partner in Mayer Brown's Chicago office and is co-leader of the global Lending group. Fred focuses his diverse finance practice on the representation of corporate and lending clients—including banks, private credit funds, private equity funds, and public and private corporations—in connection with complex domestic and international financing transactions at all levels of the capital structure. His representations include leveraged buyouts, working capital financings, dividend recaps, cash flow and asset-based financings, add-on acquisitions, cross-border and multi-currency financings, fund level leverage facilities, ESOPs and numerous in- and out-of-court workouts and restructurings. As noted in Legal 500 USA 2022 clients say “Fred Fisher and the team have been a tremendous partnership for me and my client relationships. They are extremely knowledgeable, provide great work with an extremely quick turnaround. Mayer Brown is exceptional at managing a process and marching toward a timeline. When a legal issue is presented to me, they will have two or three suggestions for how best to move forward, reducing considerable stress in the closing process. From sole bank deals to large syndications, they have the skillset to understand the various markets we compete within.” Fred is also actively involved in charitable organizations in the Chicago area, including serving as a board member of the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund, which seeks to give high school scholarship assistance and educational support to Chicago students from under-resourced neighborhoods.
