Ati P. Khatri

Counsel

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP

Ati Khatri focuses his practice on mergers and acquisitions, financial transactions, and general counsel matters, working very closely with founders and investors alike. He assists privately-held companies, technology firms, banks, lenders, executives, investors, and investor groups in all areas of transactional, business planning, and general corporate matters. Ati is involved in the entire life cycle of a company, from inception to exit, and he prides himself on being the first phone call that his clients make for nearly all general corporate matters.

Having facilitated commercial loan transactions ranging from $1 million to $350 million, Ati has a depth of experience providing lender-side and borrower-side loan documentation for financial institutions and middle market businesses.

In addition to traditional corporate financial transactions, Ati has a strong practice leading specialty finance transactions including equipment leasing, warranty finance, insurance premium finance, and other such specialty disciplines.

Ati also focuses his practice on mergers and acquisitions, representing clients in numerous industries in transactions ranging from $1 million to $375 million. His finance background makes him uniquely qualified as a “one-stop shop” for merger and acquisition needs, overseeing both the purchase transaction logistics, as well as the senior and mezzanine debt financing necessary to bring the transaction to a smooth closing.

Prior to joining the firm, Ati was a partner in the Business and Finance Group at HMB Legal Counsel, a well-established, corporate-focused law firm based in Chicago, Illinois. He was also a leader in its Debt Finance and Banking practice and led its ETA/Search Fund efforts.
