We ensure that lenders – including banks, invoice discounters, challenger banks, asset financiers and other funders – get the protections needed on the loans they offer, and the precise legal and commercial advice that will ensure that loan agreements and security are enforceable if needs be.

Our dynamic corporate banking team helps funders to continue to lend to viable businesses; helping to drive commerce across the county and internationally. Support includes negotiating loan agreements, drafting security documentation, as well as priority and intercreditor deeds.

For lenders to continue to operate successfully, seeking advice on the underlying transaction is also paramount, whether that be a corporate or real estate acquisition for example.

From acquisition finance and mezzanine finance to related security and priority/subordination issues; our team have the specialist skills and commercial vision to ensure that you are met with solutions and not barriers

• Having a sound understanding of longstanding market players, as well as new market entrants will directly impact on how corporate banking activity is conducted, both now and in the future.
