Escalating inflation, rising interest rates, the war in Ukraine, Silicon Valley Bank and the banking crisis —the commercial lending landscape has changed dramatically over the past 2 years. With interest rates expected to continue to rise and the economy positioned for a potential downturn, companies looking for financing need to be prepared for reduced loan amounts, higher interest rates, and more rigorous negotiations of various loan covenants. This presentation will provide guidance from both lenders’ and borrowers’ perspectives on negotiations of financial covenants and other aspects of commercial loan documentation in the new environment.
