USP’s

With respect to Florida and USA related matters, GL is the compelling choice. Carlos Galaniuk is uniquely qualified as an international lawyer having native fluency in English and German, and has advanced degrees from both legal systems. He is a native Floridian and an active member of the Florida Bar as an attorney at law and a member of the German Bar (Nürnberg) as a German Rechtsanwalt. This enables him to not only bridge the expectations of European clients and the circumstances found in the US, but also collate and integrate complexities into comprehensible processes and solutions. GL bridges this divide between cultures and systems of commerce and law. Our background as an investment banker and attorney in large commercial law firms assures the client counsel from a seasoned professional with strong transactional skills.

With respect to international contract matters, GL distinguishes itself once more with its ability to interpret and fathom technological and commercial features and intricacies of a transaction and express these in structures and the agreements, which form the basis of your deal.

Skills acquired through years of experience in leveraged finance, M&A and commercial law assist greatly to set the proper course as your venture kicks off. GL`s principal, Carlos Galaniuk, has analyzed and stress-tested voluminous business plans (including detailed quantitative projections) and due diligence materials. In addition to being a native English speaking lawyer, Carlos has the academic background, (JD, LLM (DE)), qualifications and training perfectly suited to provide you with top-quality counsel for your international contract matters.

GL has a wealth of experience in the area of banking capital markets and corporate finance & treasury.  While working as a finance lawyer, Carlos Galaniuk worked for borrowers and lenders on international financings from the commitment document phase through to the loan document, from the security taking, draw down and loan dispersal exercises, through to mop up matters. As a leveraged finance banker and finance professional in a large industrial company and banks, he structured and executed a plethora of financing transactions (debt and equity), from due diligence to bid stage and through to closing and funding.

In loan related matters, a solution always lies within points of intersection amongst the lawyers, bankers and borrower. Few advisors can offer an in depth perspective from both experience and education into all these areas. GL can. GL aims to align the concerns and requirements of these three interest groups and crystallize viable solutions acceptable to the principals. GL's interdisciplinary skill sets, which arch over into each of the relevant areas provide a compelling reason to choose GL.
