Troutman Pepper’s Frank Montes de Oca Receives SFNet 40 Under 40 Award
ATLANTA – Frank A. Montes de Oca, an attorney in Troutman Pepper’s Atlanta office, has been recognized by the Secured Finance Network (SFNet) with a 2022 40 Under 40 Award. Established in 2016, the award “celebrates the achievements of young professionals in the secured finance industry — movers and shakers who exemplify true excellence in their careers and who also contribute to their communities and the industry as a whole.” Recipients are regarded as “the future of the secured finance community.” SFNet honored the 2022 award winners in its June issue of The Secured Lender available online here.
Montes de Oca represents financial institutions, private investment funds, investors, and borrowers in a wide range of domestic and cross-borders financing transactions, including investment grade and middle-market transactions. He also represents clients in work-outs- and restructuring-related matters. Montes de Oca is based out of the Atlanta, Georgia office of Troutman Pepper but resides in Orlando, Florida and serves as a member of the board of directors of the Orlando chapter of SFNet.
“I am grateful for this industry honor recognizing the fact that I have opportunities and experiences that many others who look like me and share my background may never have,” Montes de Oca said. “I strive to be a better lawyer and person every day and to serve my clients to the best of my abilities by adhering to the positive immigrant work ethic my parents proudly instilled in me. I share this honor with them and the attorneys at Troutman Pepper who have mentored me.”
Montes de Oca’s clients span numerous industries, including private equity, energy investments, manufacturing, transportation, and lumber and pulp, among others.
Founded in 1944, SFNet (formerly the Commercial Finance Association) provides networking opportunities and resources to organizations and professionals who deliver and enable secured finance to businesses. The achievements of Montes de Oca and his fellow honorees were celebrated at the 2022 40 Under 40 Awards dinner at The Plaza in New York City on June 16.
