Our Banking and Finance Team has the knowledge, experience and expert legal skills, as well as the business judgment, to enable even the most complex of financing deals to be completed smoothly and safely for our clients.
We act on local, national and international financings and on each type of transaction, we’re able to spot and overcome issues before they become problems and the strength and size of our team means we can deliver these solutions on time and within budget.
We get to know our clients and take on board vital information as early as possible, so that we can use our expertise to move quickly through the deal execution process and reach a satisfactory conclusion.
Our Team of lawyers have specialist expertise in corporate financings, acquisition and leveraged finance, property finance (both investment and development), asset based finance and restructuring work covering the full range of corporate funding requirements. All of the partners in our team are recognised as leaders in their own fields.
Because our lawyers have experience in the business restructuring environment, they understand the pitfalls that can trip up the unwary, but they also have the commercial understanding to structure transactions in a way that will minimise those risks, without interfering with the underlying commercial realities of the deal. This understanding means we can guide our clients between theoretical problems and the real issues and help them differentiate between the two.
