Liles Parker has experience representing a broad rang of capital providers, and addressing their specialized needs, including commercial banks, SBICs, VCOCs, REITs, RICs and BDCs. The firm takes care to conform its services to the client's internal processes and procedures. Recognizing that post-closing matters require as much thoroughness and organization as pre-closing, Liles Parker works with its clients' staff to learn their preferred procedures for outside counsel, and deliver all transaction documents, and handle other post closing matters, as and when they require. Years of deal experience have given Liles Parker attorneys a proactive approach to all closing processes, and made them skilled at handling obstacles to closing quickly and efficiently, and meeting their clients' closing schedules. The firm recognizes that in any finance transaction, for the capital provider and for the borrower or issuer, relationships can be as important as legal documents. With this in mind, the firm handles its clients' matters rigorously and with utmost care, but in a style which avoids unnecessary friction and adversarial spirit.
