Van Holkeboer is a partner in the firm's Corporate Finance Department. Mr. Holkeboer represents private investment funds, banks and other financial institutions that provide mezzanine financing to middle-market companies. He is widely experienced in the numerous lending, private equity capital and tax issues that arise in mezzanine financing transactions and their restructurings. He has negotiated and closed over 50 mezzanine transactions during the past 10 years, and has handled many add-on investments and restructurings of such transactions. In addition to his mezzanine finance experience, Mr. Holkeboer has extensive private investment fund experience, having organized four private investment funds and advising investors in evaluating investments in private investment and hedge funds. As part of the organization of a private investment fund, Mr. Holkeboer negotiated and structured a side-by-side investment fund for a regulated entity to facilitate such entity’s participation in the fund’s investments while avoiding the regulatory and capital constraints applicable to a direct investment in the fund.
