Biography

Marlow Gereluk acts as lead counsel in syndicated and bilateral debt financings, project financings, asset-backed lending and offerings of bonds, debentures and convertible debt, both national and cross-border. He also advises clients in connection with distressed debt offerings and restructurings, and inter-creditor negotiations. He has extensive experience with derivatives, particularly with commodity, cross-currency and interest rate hedging transactions, credit default swaps and equity derivatives, and has been a frequent author and speaker on the subject. He also has acted on a wide variety of business acquisitions and corporate restructurings for clients ranging from large multinationals to formation-stage enterprises.

Marlow rejoined our Calgary office in 2009 after having worked in London, England, from 2000 to 2009. While in England, he worked with a "Magic Circle" law firm in its finance group, and then with Moody’s Investors Service in its structured finance group as a legal and policy advisor and ratings analyst. He later joined Citigroup Global Markets as an investment banker in its structured finance team before becoming a director with Key Capital Investment Management, a finance advisory and investment management company specializing in private equity and structured funds. Marlow applies the skills he developed as an investment banker and ratings analyst in his approach to the law, providing efficient commercial legal advice.

He advises on transactions and agreements governed by English law and Alberta law.
