What the Team is Known For

Muckle's highly regarded practice covers the full spectrum of banking and finance work. The firm has a strong reputation acting for lenders, with a clientele comprising banks, venture funds and private equity firms, as well as assisting with borrower-side mandates. The team is known for advising on development funding, acquisition finance and refinancing matters.

Strengths

Muckle offers excellent responsiveness when required, and I can't think of a time where I've felt their response or advice to be too brief or lacking.

Muckle seeks to understand us as a business, our key stakeholders and the programme, as well as demonstrate a very strong ability to be our interpreter and provide guidance in plain and clear English.

The department is excellent in terms of experience and expertise and I would not hesitate working with them. They are well resourced and able to deliver with sensible, value-based fees.

Work Highlights

Muckle advised Hampshire Trust Bank on funding to Bailey Investments (North West) to refinance an Easy Access Self Storage site in Stockport, and to fund the demolition of the existing buildings and the development of a new facility.
