Trade Finance

For more than 40 years, Miles & Stockbridge has represented lenders to U.S. exporters and buyers of U.S.-manufactured products and regularly represents banks engaged in working capital and end-user export finance, which often involves the use of guarantee or insurance products offered by the Export-Import Bank of the US.

Some of these loans have been structured as secured project finance transactions. Other loans have involved intercreditor arrangements with other lenders, subordinated debt, real estate or equipment as collateral or unsecured obligations of private borrowers or sovereign governments.

Since the inception of the Working Capital Guarantee Program of the Export-Import Bank of the United States, Miles & Stockbridge has represented lenders financing the export working capital requirements of U.S. exporters. These representations range from specific transactions to general export sales, stand-alone financings to those integrated into complex credit arrangements; loans secured by overseas collateral meeting US content requirements; and transactions under Ex-Im Bank’s Delegated Authority and Super Delegated Authority Programs.
