Margaret Seurynck, Accomplished Finance Lawyer, Joins McGuireWoods in Chicago

McGuireWoods continues to grow its nationally recognized debt finance practice with the arrival of Margaret Seurynck, who brings more than 15 years of experience advising clients, including national and multinational banks and private equity firms, in complex financings.

Seurynck, who joins the firm’s Chicago office, represents lenders and borrowers in transactions such as secured and unsecured loans, asset-based and cash flow loans, and single-bank and syndicated credit facilities. She also handles structured finance arrangements, including structured note tax credit finance transactions and commercial paper programs.

Seurynck assists private equity firms and multinational corporations in financing aspects of M&A deals and regularly advises clients on sales of distressed commercial loans in the secondary market.

She comes to McGuireWoods from Jones Day, following the January addition of highly regarded finance partner Chris Molen, who joined McGuireWoods in Atlanta.

McGuireWoods’ debt finance practice is one of the largest in the United States, with more than 90 debt finance lawyers in the U.S. and London. The firm represents each of the top 10 U.S. banks ranked by assets and has handled domestic and cross-border commitments exceeding $150 billion in each of the past eight years. The firm has developed nationwide programs to bring together investors and companies seeking financing, including its annual healthcare-focused private equity, lending and finance conference, which begins Feb. 20 in Chicago.
