Partner

Portland

Greg Blonde is a partner at Orrick and leads the firm's Portland office. He has spent more than two decades working on complex debt financings across a range of essential-service industries, including healthcare, senior living, transportation, energy and social infrastructure.

Greg's practice spans the full lifecycle of a financing — from initial structuring through disclosure, credit documentation and closing — with a focus on managing execution risk and aligning stakeholder interests. Greg has represented all principal transaction participants — banks, issuers, underwriters and borrowers — giving him a rounded perspective on transactional dynamics. He has led teams on financings ranging from multi-series public offerings to bespoke private placements.

Greg's sector experience is particularly deep in healthcare and senior living finance. He also has significant expertise advising transportation authorities, including airport and marine port systems, and has worked extensively with public authorities on capital programs for power, water, wastewater and other regulated utilities.

Since 2011, he has provided pro bono legal services to Iraqi refugees through the International Refugee Assistance Project. He previously served on the Board of Directors of Youth, Rights & Justice, a nonprofit law firm serving vulnerable children.
