Troutman Sanders LLP announced today that Robert L. Bourguignon has rejoined the firm’s Finance practice as a partner in the New York office. Bourguignon returns from Wachtel Missry LLP, which he joined from Troutman Sanders in 2013.
“We are delighted that Robert has rejoined Troutman Sanders,” said Ashley Story, Chair of the firm’s Real Estate and Finance department. “His broad experience in finance and real estate finance matters, including handling large complex loans, will enhance our national lending practice, as well as provide added bench strength for New York-based transactions.”
“New York is a very important market for our expanding real estate and finance practices,” said David Dantzler, managing partner of the firm’s New York office. “Robert’s background aligns with our practice in New York, and his diverse experience representing banks, private equity firms, hedge funds and private lenders will be of tremendous benefit.”
Bourguignon represents local, regional and national banks, private equity firms, domestic and foreign hedge funds, and private lenders in a wide range of matters. His experience includes traditional and non-traditional real estate finance, leasehold finance, debtor-in-possession finance, litigation finance, consumer lending finance, Native American tribal lending, and financing of natural resources. He not only structures and originates transactions, but also has been involved in modifications, forbearances, restructurings, workouts, foreclosures, litigation and bankruptcies.
Before joining Troutman Sanders as a partner in 2008, Bourguignon was a shareholder at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney.
“I am excited to be rejoining Troutman Sanders. The broad experience that the firm offers is of significant benefit to my clients,” said Bourguignon. “In New York, not only does the practice feature great depth in lending transactions, but also experience in related areas of importance, including environmental, tax, litigation, corporate and bankruptcy.”
Bourguignon received a B.A. from New York University, an M.S. from Columbia University and a J.D. from Brooklyn Law School.
