Katten added Alexander Volsky to its private credit practice as a partner in Dallas.
“We are delighted to welcome Alex. His proven track record of advising clients across the private credit and alternative lending markets will be beneficial to our clients as our industry continues to expand and evolve,” Michael Jacobson, chair of Katten’s private credit practice, said. “His exemplary skills expand on our well-known ability to deliver the deep market insight, innovative structuring and strategic guidance our clients expect.”
Volsky represents borrowers and lenders in a wide range of private credit, leveraged and structured financings, including cash flow and asset-based lending, syndicated and club facilities, fund financings, real estate financings, secured and unsecured debt and first-lien/second-lien and unitranche structures. Qualified to practice law in Texas, New York, England and Wales, he has a sophisticated command of market practices on both sides of the Atlantic and provides coverage for U.S. and cross-border transactions.
Volsky holds a PhD in international relations from the University of Oxford, where he specialized in the relationship between international law and great power politics. Early in his career, he served at the United Nations Security Council and Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Prior to joining Katten, Volsky practiced leveraged finance at top international law firms in London, New York and Dallas.
“Alexander joining our Dallas office and the firm’s private credit practice is absolutely a win-win,” Mark Solomon, Dallas managing partner for Katten, said. “The Dallas/Fort Worth area continues to be a powerhouse region where the intersection of private equity, M&A and sophisticated financing thrives. The demand for private credit solutions is high as companies and investors here and abroad continue to look for creative capital.”
