Nate Hidalgo

Nate Hidalgo is an associate in Dechert’s global finance practice, representing lenders in the commercial and residential mortgage markets, with a focus on structured repurchase transactions and warehouse lending. He has extensive experience advising many of the largest bank lenders on the structuring and negotiation of complex pooled financing arrangements.

Mr. Hidalgo advises on a broad range of cross-collateralized and pooled financing structures, including repurchase transactions, credit facilities and other debt financings backed by senior and junior commercial real estate loans, participation interests, mezzanine loans and preferred equity interests. Drawing on his deep knowledge of the repurchase facility market, he has developed tailored solutions to intricate financing needs, including structures designed to achieve EU securitization capital treatment for international banks.

Mr. Hidalgo has advised institutions while they build commercial real estate warehouse lending platforms from the ground up. His advice integrates transaction structuring with the practical demands of launching and operating a lending business, including internal compliance, day-to-day servicing, tax, financial regulation and structuring considerations under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. He focuses on practical, coordinated approaches that institutions can implement from day one.

Prior to joining Dechert, Mr. Hidalgo was a member of the structured finance department of a large international law firm.
