As a transaction lawyer, Warren provides practical business-based advice and structures corresponding solutions with a view to furthering his clients' long-term strategic objectives. He focuses on the timely resolution of issues and on closing transactions quickly and efficiently while ensuring that market comparable transactions and documentation are considered and followed as applicable and required. Warren acts as lead counsel on large syndicated credit facilities, including acquisition financings, asset-based lending, reserve-based lending and project finance, primarily in the energy sector. Many of these transactions are cross-border, predominantly involving the US but also Europe, Australia, and both South and Central America. Warren works directly with the business group, treasury team, internal counsel and any additional groups within or outside of Blakes to eliminate any "silos" that may otherwise delay or misdirect the workflow toward closing.
