0

GARY B. ROSENBAUM, 49

FIRM: McDermott Will & Emery LLP

LAW SCHOOL: UCLA Law School

SELECTED CLIENTS: GE Capital, US Bank, TriplePoint Capital

YEARS IN PRACTICE: 24

Most Memorable Deal: The $425 million syndicated financing agented by GE Capital in 1993 of a pharmaceutical distributor that was on the verge of bankruptcy was a landmark deal in my career that was replete with cross-country red-eye airplane trips to negotiate loan agreements with the borrower and its counsel, a weeklong closing in New York and a great closing dinner at the Rainbow Room on the 65th floor of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in New York.

Most Difficult Deal: Leading our firm’s representation of Securus Technologies, one of the largest independent providers of inmate telecommunications services to correctional facilities, in connection with its 2010 debt restructuring.

The Secret to Closing a Deal: Understanding your client and its business and knowing the points that your client needs to have as opposed to the items that it views as being nice to have and being able to prioritize those critical points.

If I Weren’t an Attorney: I would be a high school or Division III college basketball coach.

My Colleagues Don’t Know: I am obsessed about being organized and am constantly checking and double-checking to-do lists, which drives my family crazy at home but keeps me sane at the office.
