We help you get deals done. Our top-ranked finance team combines technical excellence and personal service on complex domestic and cross-border transactions.
We act on matters from £1 million to £100 million plus for major UK clearing banks, UK challenger banks, international financial institutions and non-bank lenders, as well as large corporates, private equity and owner-managed companies.
Clients value our commercial acumen as much as our technical strength. We understand how banks operate and deal with risk, their transaction drivers, procedures and standards. Several of our lawyers have undertaken secondments in UK banks and other financial institutions.
This experience working for lenders is invaluable when acting for borrowers. We know the bank’s boundaries—the points they will and won’t accept. This knowledge makes the transaction process more efficient and achieves the best outcome for clients.
