Robert J. Waldner

Bob’s transactional practice concentrates on trade structure and documentation as they relate to the allocation of credit risk in the fixed-income trading markets. He has been engaged by investors seeking to acquire strategic positions in companies undergoing financial restructuring or in bankruptcy, and he often counsels these clients on reviewing and analyzing credit documentation and related reorganization or bankruptcy materials. He also works with several broker-dealers in support of their secondary loan and claims trading desks.

Bob has assisted a wide range of financial clients in creating trading solutions for illiquid assets in North America, Europe, and Asia. He focuses on the preparation and negotiation of primary and secondary loan and claims trading documentation, including agreements adopted under the Loan Syndications and Trading Association, Inc. (LSTA), and Loan Market Association regimes and other bespoke purchase and sale contracts as well as private securities trading documentation.

Bob is an active participant in the LSTA and has contributed to the evolution of its suite of standard trading documents as a member of numerous LSTA working groups.

Prior to joining the firm, Bob was an attorney with Kibbe & Orbe LLP.
