Proskauer: leverage creep ‘dampened’ demand for mezz

 One of private credit’s top law firms is ‘guardedly optimistic’ about 2017 and potential reversal of US bank regulations.

Leverage inching up in private credit mid-market deals happens every cycle, and as the economic expansion continued, last year was no different.

A new report from the Proskauer law firm released on Tuesday suggests that leverage increase, or creep, in 2016 may have tipped the market in favour of senior and unitranche products at the expense of mezzanine debt.
