This CLE webinar will discuss the mechanisms of asset-based financing transactions, including issues associated with the borrowing base, obtaining and perfecting a security interest in the assets as collateral under the UCC, and key terms in asset-based lending (ABL) loan documentation.


In asset-based financing transactions, the lender lends up to a percentage of the value of the borrower’s assets—the borrowing base. Assets used in ABL financing are typically accounts receivables, inventory and equipment.

ABL lending frequently involves extensions of credit to borrowers representing a higher degree of credit risk than certain other types of commercial lending. As a result, ABL loans require more intensive scrutiny and oversight by the lender and as a result have many unique features.

Listen as our authoritative panel of finance attorneys reviews the mechanisms of asset-based financing transactions, discusses key issues associated with different assets in the borrowing base, obtaining and perfecting a security interest in the assets, and key terms in ABL loan documentation.

Commercial Finance & Lending Group Senior Counsel Scott Lessne and Corporate Finance & Securities Group Counsel Jenny Cieplak are participating in this event.

The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
