Robert Sahyan represents lenders and borrowers across the full range of commercial lending transactions, from loan origination through restructuring and enforcement of remedies. His practice encompasses term loans, asset-based lines of credit, commercial real estate loans and syndicated facilities for clients operating across the technology, hospitality, food and beverage, retail, mortgage banking and other industries. He regularly handles transactions ranging from middle-market financings to large-scale syndicated credit facilities.
Robert's transactional work is grounded in a practical understanding of how debt structures function across different sectors and deal stages. He counsels clients on the mechanics of each transaction type—from covenant negotiations and intercreditor arrangements to collateral structuring—whether that means putting a new facility in place or navigating a distressed situation. His clients value his ability to identify and address potential issues early, keeping transactions on track and minimizing exposure in complex, multi-party deals.
Robert also draws on significant commercial bankruptcy experience. He represents parties before the U.S. bankruptcy courts, including creditors, trustees, debtors-in-possession, official committees and purchasers of assets—giving him a well-rounded perspective on how financial distress intersects with lending obligations and enforcement strategy. This dual perspective allows him to structure lending transactions with an eye toward downside risk, helping clients protect their positions from the outset.
