Justin Aufderhar, an associate in the firm’s Debt Finance Department, represents banks, private equity firms, and other financial institutions in documenting and structuring complex secured and unsecured credit facilities, including bilateral and syndicated transactions, cash flow and asset-based loans, acquisition financings, letters of credit and other credit enhancement facilities, multistate real estate secured transactions, as well as second lien, mezzanine and subordinated debt financings, and cross-border transactions.

Notable accomplishments include defeating a motion to dismiss in federal court under the Fair Credit Reporting Act against a national TV provider, managing discovery in two cases involving over 10,000 class members, and presenting oral argument that created new case law in the Eastern District of California over the discoverability of contact information of class members allegedly subject to arbitration.
