Structured Execution

Senior, In-House-Style Execution Support for Structured Finance Platforms

I provide fractional legal support to structured finance teams across ABF, ABS, MBS, structured lending, and private credit — helping platforms remain aligned, operationally sound, and execution-ready across the full deal lifecycle.

From facilities and securitizations to amendments, transitions, and ongoing administration, I step into the internal work that sits between business teams and outside counsel — so deals don’t stall, obligations don’t get lost, and institutional knowledge persists over time and across transactions.

Most structured finance platforms are built to close deals — not to carry them forward.

In practice, critical internal work often falls into a gap:

  • Between transactions

  • Between business teams and outside counsel

  • Between what documents say and how facilities actually operate day to day in practice

That gap shows up as:

  • Unclear obligations and compliance requirements

  • Paying $1,200/hr for outside counsel to re-read documents you already paid them to draft

  • Bottlenecks during amendments, diligence, or onboarding

  • The slow erosion of deal logic as the team that closed the transaction moves on to the next fire

I focus exclusively on that gap — providing senior, in-house-style legal and execution support that endures across deals, teams, and counterparties.

Structured Execution brings deep legal and structural experience inside organizations — supporting execution, governance, and document clarity in the way a senior in-house professional would, but on a flexible, fractional basis.

My work commonly includes:

  • Document clarity & institutional knowledge

    Contract organization, summaries, and extracts

    Covenant, trigger, and eligibility mapping

    Internal reference materials and playbooks

  • Ongoing facility & program support

    Oversight of obligations, reporting calendars, and requirements

    Supporting ongoing administration and lifecycle governance

    Preparing teams for audits, diligence, and amendments

  • Transaction & platform execution

    Amendments, consents, and facility updates

    Onboarding or transitioning lenders, servicers, agents, and trustees

    Internal readiness for new deals or program expansions

  • Process & workflow improvement

    Internal knowledge repositories

    Workflow and handoff optimization

    Practical, AI-assisted document processing to reduce friction and rework

Whether you need targeted support for a specific initiative or ongoing fractional capacity, I help structured finance teams operate with clarity, continuity, and confidence.

I work with sponsors, issuers, investors, lenders, trustees, and service providers who need senior execution support that persists beyond closing.
