Peter W. Raish

Some of the world’s largest commercial banks, investment companies, and financial sponsors have relied on Peter for his counsel in a wide variety of financing transactions, including fully underwritten acquisition financings, reserve-based and asset-based credit facilities, institutional terms loans, general corporate financings, refinancings, debtor-in-possession credit facilities and exit financings, subscription-backed credit facilities, NAV facilities, hybrid credit facilities, partner loan programs, and project development loans.

Clients leverage Peter’s substantial transactional experience to negotiate, document and consummate significant financings across many industries; however, his extensive involvement in financing transactions focusing on the U.S domestic oil and gas exploration & production, midstream and related services sectors, combined with his background as an independent landman, are hallmarks of his practice.
