Chad Stackhouse has joined Cadwalader’s Fund Finance practice as a partner in our Washington, D.C. office. He joins from Troutman Pepper, where he led the firm’s Fund Finance practice and was a member of the Technology and Venture Lending practice section. He is also the former managing partner of Troutman Pepper’s Washington, D.C. and Tysons Corner, Virginia, offices.

Chad has established a national reputation advising banks and credit providers on secured lending transactions, with an emphasis on fund finance and technology and venture debt lending. He has nearly two decades of experience representing major U.S. financial institutions and foreign debt providers in commercial lending transactions. These transactions involve public and private technology companies, venture capital and private equity funds, life science companies, and high net worth individuals.

“Cadwalader’s reputation in the legal and business community is unparalleled, and the firm’s premier fund finance practice is widely recognized as the gold standard and market leader,” Chad said. “I think my venture capital lending experience creates new opportunities for the firm, and Cadwalader’s outstanding all-around capabilities, as well as a market-leading team in London, will be a big bonus to my existing clients. This is a combination that makes great sense from every perspective.”
