Banking and Finance

Our banking & finance team has a wealth of experience in all aspects of banking and finance transactions. We act for many of the leading banks, financial institutions and corporate borrowers, providing the full range of banking services: from corporate lending to restructuring and recovery.

We also provide specialist support in areas such as structured and acquisition finance, real estate finance and asset based lending transactions. We are one of the few firms with the combined cross-border expertise to offer a comprehensive range of services to lenders and borrowers across the UK. We are also able to advise on funding transactions in the Middle East, including Islamic finance.

We recognise the need to marry technical expertise with business sense and focus on giving legal advice in a commercial context, identifying solutions and getting the deal done. Whether the lending is to support a project, acquisition or business, our team will work closely with you to ensure that our service is tailored to meet your needs.
