Banking & Finance

Our banking and finance lawyers have a wealth of experience acting for a variety of borrowers, lenders and private equity funds across a range of sectors and industries in all types of finance transactions, ranging from corporate and leveraged financings to asset-based lending (including invoice discounting), along with real estate and development finance.

We regularly assist our Corporate team in relation to the financing elements of sales and acquisitions, whether that is the funding that sits behind the acquisition itself, the associated intra-group arrangements or the redemption of a target’s existing debt and security.  When financial circumstances become challenging, we also work closely alongside our Restructuring colleagues to provide pragmatic and commercial solutions for distressed / rescue lending and restructuring scenarios.

Beyond initial or full financing, we often act for clients with regard to facility amendments, consents and refinancings, priority and intercreditor arrangements and the entire spectrum between, including advice on personal and/or corporate guarantees required for a business’s other commercial dealings.
