Summary
Greenberg Traurig has added Andrew B. Jacobs as a shareholder in the firm's Westchester County and New York offices, according to the firm's announcement. The hire is designed to expand the firm's leveraged finance capabilities as demand grows across private credit, syndicated lending, acquisition financing, restructuring, and distressed debt markets.
Jacobs brings more than 15 years of experience advising major investment and commercial banks, private credit providers, hedge funds, and other institutional lenders. His work spans the credit cycle, including syndicated lending, leveraged buyouts, acquisition financings, restructurings, and distressed situations. The firm said he will work with lawyers across its U.S. and international network, giving clients access to financing capabilities that can span multiple offices and practice groups.
The firm is positioning cross-office collaboration as a differentiator in a market where complex transactions often require coordinated advice across lending, restructuring, corporate, tax, and regulatory issues. Jacobs also serves on the Loan Syndications and Trading Association Primary Markets Committee and has long supported Part of the Solution, a Bronx-based nonprofit providing food, services, and resources to underserved communities.
Greenberg Traurig Global Finance Practice Co-Chair Arleen A. Nand said Jacobs brings deep expertise in broadly syndicated loan transactions and a strong track record advising leading financial institutions on complex leveraged financings. Westchester County Co-Managing Shareholder Michael A. Moser said the firm was pleased to welcome him. Jacobs said the firm's entrepreneurial culture and collaborative, cross-office platform were key attractions.
The appointment adds financing depth to the Westchester office and links that practice more directly with the firm's broader New York and international platform. The firm, which has approximately 3,200 lawyers across 51 locations in the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia, expects Jacobs to work across offices on transactions involving lenders, sponsors, borrowers, and investors.
