Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Richard C. Dusome
Lenders and borrowers alike turn to Richard C. Dusome, and the lender side runs from financial institutions to non-institutional lenders. As counsel in Gowling WLG's Hamilton office, Dusome works in banking and financial services, with the focus on credit agreements, secured transactions and loan restructurings.
Within the firm, Dusome has a hand in how other lawyers learn this work. There's a seat on the Hamilton office's Opinions Committee, regular talks in Gowling WLG's in-house continuing legal education program, and deep involvement in training associates. Dusome also started Fully Secured, a newsletter for the firm's financial services clients, and edited it from 2010 to 2018. Dusome co-presented a lending conference session on dealing with third-party creditors.
The documents that hold a deal together are where much of the practice lives. Dusome structures loans and security packages so they fit inside contractual and regulatory limits, and drafts and negotiates financing opinions, forbearance arrangements, and agreements that settle which creditor ranks first. Since being called to the Ontario bar in 1986, Dusome has worked on financings at home and abroad, secured and unsecured, along with syndicated loans.
