The Vice President candidate will be responsible for leading day-to-day execution of private financings (primarily leverage finance transactions) across all sectors.

Capital Markets – Private Capital Solutions & Advisory Services: The Houlihan Lokey Capital Markets Group is a leading provider of global financing solutions and capital-raising advisory services for a broad range of corporate and private equity clients across all industry verticals.  We act as an agent, underwriter and/or strategic advisor for a variety of transaction types, ranging from complex leveraged finance (including 1st lien loans, unitranche, 2nd lien, mezzanine, high-yield debt as well as liability management services) to equity and structured equity (including privately placed common stock and equity-linked securities, PIPEs, IPOs, and follow-ons).  Houlihan excels at providing solutions for clients with complex capital needs (e.g., corporate carve out, geographic/international diversity, customer concentration, cyclical business, operational turnaround, complicated credit history, negative or misunderstood secular trends, large capital expenditures and/or hyper growth) and/or those raising opportunistic capital (e.g., shareholder liquidity, bridge capital, acquisition finance, short timeline to close, covenant-lite, flexible capital, and/or leverage maximization).

Our Capital Markets professionals leverage a wide array of  longstanding, senior-level lender and investor relationships including traditional and non-traditional direct capital providers (such as institutional credit funds, commercial finance companies, banks, BDCs, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, global asset managers, special situations investors and structured equity providers).  As the traditional syndicated capital markets are becoming increasingly complex and more regulated, the private capital markets have materially developed to provide an alternative source of capital that is flexible and can be accessed in size to solve clients’ needs. 

Houlihan has the largest dedicated private capital raising team globally with ~35 dedicated professionals located in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, London and Sydney.
