Revolving Credit Agreement

Drafting revolving credit agreements manually requires hours of repetitive work—copying boilerplate provisions, customizing financial covenants, coordinating collateral terms, and ensuring consistency across multiple schedules. A single credit facility can consume 6-8 hours of attorney time, with significant risk of errors in interest rate calculations, covenant thresholds, or cross-references between sections.
