Formerly a corporate finance partner with Holland & Knight LLP in New York City, Nick has negotiated and closed a number of sophisticated financings, both domestic and international, including syndicated and single-lender institutional loans, privately placed notes exempt from registration under Rule 144A, asset-based finance, real estate finance, structured finance, nontraditional lender finance, mezzanine finance, lease finance, project finance, aircraft finance, federal export credit and overseas development finance, insurance company private placements, and commercial hard money finance.

He has appeared in the bankruptcy courts of the states of New York, Delaware, Texas, New Jersey, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, and Connecticut. Nick continues to advise and represent creditor clients in all aspects of bankruptcy matters, including claims resolution, defense of preference actions, purchase of assets and businesses out of bankruptcy, stay relief, and the chapter 11 plan process. Nick has also represented a number of financial institutions and other creditor constituencies in out-of-court workouts and in the exercise of secured creditor remedies.
