He provides representation to lenders, investors, borrowers and guarantors in connection with U.S. denominated and senior, mezzanine and subordinated corporate financing transactions.

Mr. Tacey received his Bachelors of Arts in Political Science from the University of Arizona, and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Washington School of Law.
In the last 8 years, Mr. Tacey has perceived a strong calling to assist Boards of Directors, Executive Officers, Family Operated Businesses and Family Estate Disputes in resolving disputes that occur within the corporate governance or operation of businesses. Mr. Tacey's mediation efforts are used in an effort to preserve relationships, minimize dysfunction and the harm caused thereby, while maintaining proper order, execution and advancement of the Company. Many times disputes are personal grievances, misperceived threats or disparity in compensation or acknowledgement of one's contribution to the business, which all flow from a lack of trust between principals. Trusting relationships is what makes businesses thrive. Trust is developed through discipline in communicating and a spirit of humility. Mr. Tacey has a unique ability to articulate people's positions and broker understanding between two business partners, and redirect focus of the business from one's self to the betterment of a common purpose. Mr. Tacey has successfully resolved and restored various Companies from the threat of dispute among directors, founders and family members. Many times these problems can be resolved internally with privacy and dignity for the parties. Other times, regrettably, the relationship cannot be restored. However, Mr. Tacey has been called upon to construct an separation of the financial interests at stake, and manage the relationships of the parties through the separation without materially disrupting the Company's operations.
The following is a list of transactions in which Mr. Tacey was able to perform these services.
