ABOUT Paul Weiffenbach
Paul Weiffenbach has three decades experience representing major international corporations, banks, and governmental agencies in complex commercial and financial transactions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. His principal practice areas include general corporate law, commercial bank lending, project finance, mergers and acquisitions, securitization, and structured finance.

Paul began his legal career as an associate in the Washington D.C. office of Millbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. In 1993, a group of four lawyers, including Paul, left Milbank to start the D.C. Office of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP. Paul started as an associate and eventually became a partner working in the Washington, D.C., London, and New York offices of Orrick. While in London, Paul had the honor of The American Lawyer naming him the “Deal Maker of the Year for Securitization” in 2000 for his work as United States counsel in the first European securitization registered with the SEC and publicly offered in the United States.

After leaving Orrick, Paul was a partner for three years in a predecessor firm to Bryant & Rabbino where, among other transactions, Paul was counsel to a United States government agency in several securitizations and sales of assets from banks in receivership.

In addition, Paul spent six years in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia as a partner in two leading Mongolian law firms. Paul’s experience also includes acting as the business legal advisor to the CEO of the company holding the Mongolian government’s mining assets.

Paul obtained his law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, where he graduated magna cum laude. At Georgetown, he served as the Notes and Comments Editor of the Georgetown Law Journal and was a member of the Order of the Coif.
