I engaged Grace Aviles at Paul Hastings to advise my private equity firm on the debt financing for a recent platform acquisition. Her decade of experience, particularly in banking and finance law, was immediately evident. Grace expertly navigated the complexities of the credit agreement, demonstrating a keen understanding of both lender expectations and sponsor needs that comes from her recognized practice in financial services regulation. She was a strategic partner throughout negotiations, and her ability to distill dense legal concepts into actionable business advice was invaluable. The transaction closed smoothly, in no small part due to her diligence. While her billing rates reflect the firm's premium market position, which is understandable given her expertise, some initial email responses during the early diligence phase took a bit longer than expected. Overall, Grace is a sharp, reliable attorney I would confidently recommend for sophisticated finance matters.
