Matthew Frankle
Matthew Frankle focuses his practice on secured lending and equity derivative transactions.

The equity derivative transactions are often variable delivery forward or collar / loan financing transactions.
In addition, Matthew advises major financial institutions on structured products involving proprietary indices.
Moreover, as the market for cryptocurrency and digital assets has expanded, Matthew consults on lending transactions where cryptocurrency is used as collateral.
