Ashley Gregory

Expert guidance through a complex commercial loan restructuring

Our mid-sized manufacturing company faced a critical juncture when renegotiating a substantial syndicated credit facility. The complexities of the covenants and inter-creditor dynamics were daunting. We were referred to Ashley Gregory at Kirkland & Ellis, and it proved to be an excellent decision. Despite her relatively short tenure at the firm, Ashley’s command of banking and finance law was immediately apparent. She didn't just process documents; she provided strategic clarity, explaining the implications of each clause in practical business terms. Her recognition in Banking and Finance Law is clearly well-earned. Ashley anticipated lender positions we hadn't considered and crafted persuasive, commercially sensible alternatives that protected our operational flexibility. Her responsiveness was remarkable—she was always available to discuss nuances, even during tight deadlines. The negotiation concluded with terms that secured our financial foundation for growth, a result that exceeded our expectations. Ashley combines sharp legal acumen with a collaborative, client-focused approach that makes you feel like your business is her priority. For any entity navigating sophisticated financial agreements in New York, I recommend her without reservation.
