Finance

Finance is a strong part of our practice. We have extensive experience with corporate, trade and asset-based finance transactions, such as RCFs, bilateral and syndicated self-liquidating and borrowing base facilities, inventory finance, receivables finance, margin finance, various types of guarantees and performance bonds, secured facilities and acquisition finance.

We typically advise on finance products governed by English law, although we have in-depth knowledge of other jurisdictions acquired through experience. Because security is frequently taken on cross-border basis, our work often involves instructing and supervising local counsel.

Our team provides the level of service of an international English law firm. In practice, this means that we have the experience and the skills to advise on complex projects. We often work with Loan Market Association (LMA) templates but also do design bespoke solutions. Implementing deals in challenging jurisdictions or involving difficult assets is one of specialties.

We provide advice both to the lending financiers and to the borrowers. In each case, we make sure that the finance product is robust but also sufficiently flexible so as to be practical. From numerious prior facilities, we understand how to make the documents resilient and relevant.
