Aaron Benjamin Email & Phone Number

I represent banks and financial institutions as lenders and repurchase buyers in fixed income transactions of all types. I have extensive experience in representing domestic and foreign banks in warehouse lending transactions backed by commercial and residential real estate loans and in structured repurchase transactions backed by broadly syndicated and middle market CLO bonds and repack securities formed for the purpose of securitizing commercial bank loans not suitable for traditional CLO securitizations. My practice ranges from standard market transactions to bespoke structured finance transactions designed to solve specific problems with complex fund structures and/or asset classes. Foreign bank representation includes advising on capital treatment requirements including innovative deal structures to achieve EU securitization capital treatment and risk retention requirements.I have worked on many innovative financing structures of a wide variety of pooled lending products including repurchase transactions and other debt financing structures backed by senior and junior commercial real estate loans, participation interests, mezzanine loans and preferred equity interests. Structured product bond experience includes repurchase transactions of residential mortgage loans, reverse mortgage loans, HELOCs, residential and commercial mortgage backed securities, CRE CLOs and commercial CLOs. My practice draws on Cadwalader's deep experience in supporting practice areas such as tax, bank regulatory and bankruptcy, including structuring repurchase transactions backed by real estate loans and securities to enable reliance on the U.S. Bankruptcy Code safe harbor protections from the automatic stay in bankruptcy of a borrower or sponsor.

Listed skills include Structured Finance, Capital Markets, Securitization, Cross Border Transactions, and 2 others.
