CM Law Welcomes Partners Weinberg and Howard to New Equipment Leasing Practice



CM Law (formerly Culhane Meadows) added two new partners, Ken Weinberg and Jennifer Howard, who will head the firm’s new national equipment leasing & finance practice.

“We are so very pleased to welcome this duo of experienced attorneys to CM Law,” Kelly Rittenberry Culhane, co-founder and co-managing partner of CM Law, said. “Jen Howard and Ken Weinberg are bringing their Equipment Leasing and Finance Practice as we expand the firm’s footprint into Birmingham, AL. Both are outstanding additions to the CM Law family and share our commitment to serve as Client Minded Advocates for everyone we represent.”

Howard advises clients across the entire United States in connection with asset-based financing transactions, with a focus on equipment finance and energy generation project finance. Her experience in the equipment finance industry includes all phases of structuring and documenting true leases, leases intended as secured financings and equipment loans, including a variety of equipment types. Howard’s experience in the energy industry includes advising clients in connection with construction loans, term loans and other types of financings related to energy generation facilities, such as anaerobic digesters, landfill gas-to-energy facilities, solar facilities and natural-gas-fired plants.

Weinberg has been actively involved in the commercial equipment leasing and finance industry for decades and is the recipient of the Edward A. Groobert Award for Legal Excellence by the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) for making significant contributions over a substantial period of time. He has experience across a wide spectrum of commercial equipment leasing and finance transactions, including TRAC, First Amendment, FMV, service contract and other true lease structures; synthetic leases, leases intended as security, equipment finance agreements and traditional loan transactions; progress payment, interim funding and construction financings; sublease and inventory structures; mixed goods and services transactions; vendor lease programs; assignments and syndications; warehouse and funding lines; and refinancings, back-leveraging, lease assignments, sales of interest and portfolio acquisitions. He also has additional experience in the niche of energy financing, representing lenders, investors and developers in recourse and non-recourse financing transactions (debt and tax-driven sale-leasebacks) for energy facilities across the country and internationally, including biomass facilities, landfill-gas-to-energy projects, solar facilities and natural-gas-fired plants.
