Attorney Jordanne E. Johnston has joined Fredrikson’s Finance & Securities and Corporate groups in the Minneapolis office.
Johnston represents commercial lenders across the credit spectrum, structuring debt finance transactions secured by real estate, securities, accounts, inventory, aircraft, equipment, intellectual property and other assets. Her practice includes advising clients on complex lending matters such as aviation financing, construction and real estate financing, asset-based lending, lines of credit, letters of credit, mergers and acquisitions, and equipment financing and leasing.
Johnston works closely with clients throughout the course of a transaction, providing strategic counsel grounded in current market conditions and regulatory frameworks. Her approach emphasizes practical solutions that facilitate successful closings while mitigating legal and commercial risk. She understands that when borrowers seek capital to build, expand or create — and lenders are prepared to invest — collaborative partnerships and mutually agreeable terms follow. Her practice is driven by fostering those relationships and finding those connections.
