Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP continues the expansion of its finance practice with the addition of Michael I. Zinder as special counsel in New York. Zinder has more than two decades of experience across a range of practices, including banking and finance, capital markets, and restructuring and workouts.

“Michael has been a longtime advisor on finance transactions across many industries, including financial services, media, energy, health care, retail and other vital sectors,” said John R. Schneider, co-head of Hunton Andrews Kurth’s business lending practice. “He will be a valuable addition to our banking and finance group and will play a large role in a number of our key cross-practice engagements.”

Zinder has advised domestic and foreign agents, arrangers, direct and unitranche lenders and other financing parties, as well as sponsors and borrowers, in leveraged buyouts, hostile and friendly tender offers, recapitalizations and spinoffs, workouts and restructurings, debtor-in-possession and exit financings, and fund and capital call financings.

He also represents clients in connection with mezzanine and bridge financing, asset-based financing, first lien/second lien financing, cross-border financing, project and other structured financing, and “one-stop” bank/bond financing. He has extensive experience with all types of intercreditor arrangements and agreements among lenders.

Zinder earned his undergraduate degree at Brandeis University and his law degree at Columbia University School of Law.
