Marisa A. Sotomayor is a partner in the banking and institutional finance and private credit practices of King & Spalding, based in New York. She concentrates her practice on debt financings and other corporate finance matters, regularly representing banks, alternative lenders, private credit providers, non-traditional lenders, private equity sponsors and corporate borrowers in a wide range of large-cap and middle-market transactions, including leveraged cash flow and asset-based credits, acquisition financings, syndicated transactions, club and bilateral deals, unitranche loans, cross-border loans, first and second lien loans, refinancings, and dividend recapitalizations.

Sotomayor was recently ranked in Chambers Global Guide’s 2023 edition. Chambers USA previously named Sotomayor a top lawyer for banking and finance, stating she excels in handling debt financings and syndicated transactions, with clients noting that “she’s a great resource” and that “she has broad knowledge and [is] experienced.” Sotomayor was also named a “Rising Star” by New York Law Journal, Law360 and the Women’s Bond Club, while earning an emerging leader honor from M&A Advisor.

Prior to joining King & Spalding last August, Sotomayor was a partner at Paul Hastings. She also served in previous roles at White & Case; Weil, Gotshal & Manges; and Katten.

“One of the best ways we can serve our clients is by collaborating across teams and capabilities to bring innovative solutions to the table,” Sotomayor said when joining King & Spalding. “I know from having worked with many of my new colleagues and from the firm’s reputation generally that this approach to client service and legal practice is a hallmark of King & Spalding. I am very excited to see what we can do together to build on the firm’s excellent global platform for serving the lending and financial services industry.”
