Ben Cavender joined Dorsey & Whitney as of counsel in the firm’s finance and restructuring group in Minneapolis.
Cavender returns to Dorsey from U.S. Bank, where he was assistant general counsel. His perspective is shaped by more than a decade of in house experience, gaining insight into how organizations assess risk, manage competing priorities and execute strategic goals.
Cavender focuses his practice on commercial lending, restructuring and the full range of matters that arise when businesses face financial pressure or operational disruption. He advises clients on commercial collections and workouts, bankruptcy matters, secured transactions involving real estate and personal property, note sales and liability management strategies.
Cavender received his J.D. from University of Michigan Law School; his M.B.A. from Vanderbilt University, Owen School of Management; and his B.A. from Vanderbilt University.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ben back to our finance and restructuring team,” Eric Lopez Schnabel, finance and restructuring practice group co-leader for Dorsey, said. “Ben draws on both legal experience and a strong business background, approaching each problem with an eye toward practical solutions and long-term stability.”
Cavender added, “Dorsey has a nationally recognized Finance & Restructuring practice. I am very excited to return to Dorsey’s excellent team and to join my colleagues in serving our clients.”
