Todd Cubbage

Partner | Co-Chair - Finance Practice Group

With more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, Todd Cubbage represents lenders and commercial paper conduits in structuring, negotiating, and documenting sophisticated lending arrangements. Lenders rely on Todd’s solutions-oriented approach to arranging multi-jurisdictional subscription-secured credit facilities with top-tier private equity and real estate funds. As a result, he has served as lead counsel on many of the largest domestic and cross-border subscription credit facilities. Prior to focusing on subscription lending, Todd represented commercial banks and commercial paper conduits in connection with corporate and middle-market loans, leases, and securitization transactions.

Todd establishes strong personal and professional relationships with his clients, serving as a partner in the pursuit of their goals. He understands that his clients are more likely to achieve optimal results when all parties are focused and collaborative, so he maintains a firm but fair approach with opposing parties and counsel to achieve his clients’ objectives. Clients appreciate Todd’s ability to identify and understand their needs, and his skill at structuring and negotiating transactions to get deals done.

Todd is regularly called upon to speak on topics related to lending and financial markets, including at recent Fund Finance Association panels and other industry-specific conferences. Having relocated to open the firm’s Charlotte office in 2018, Todd now serves as the office’s administrative partner.
