I am Marianne S. Martin, a Corporate Finance partner at JMBM's Corporate practice. I guide founder and sponsor-backed middle-market borrower companies through various stages of growth debt financing. My work also covers distressed and special situations, particularly with private credit lenders.
Over the past few years, I have executed nearly $700 million in financing transactions, and throughout my career, I have handled restructuring and financing transactions totaling well over $1.5 billion. I am widely recognized for my knowledge in debt financing and related practices. I frequently represent both borrower and lender clients in complex commercial finance transactions, including fund finance transactions.
My clients often include public and private companies, alternative lenders, private credit funds, institutional and bank lenders, and family offices. I have represented clients in senior and subordinated debt facilities, syndicated facilities, acquisition financing, and secured and unsecured bilateral credits across various collateral situations, including ABL, cash-flow financing, real-estate backed financing, and bespoke collateral situations. Additionally, I represent private credit funds and lenders in subscription lines and warehouse lines of credit.
Known for my ability to "cut to the chase" for clients, my skill in simplifying and executing complex arrangements makes me an invaluable partner to clients seeking practical solutions in dynamic markets. I am frequently recognized as a leading practitioner in debt financing. I have been honored as one of The Best Lawyers in America for 2023-2025 and as a Legal Visionary by the Los Angeles Times in 2022, and 2024-2025.
