Service overview
What we do
Having the right funding is important in enabling businesses to invest, grow, acquire, develop or restructure. We advise banks, debt funds, alternative lenders, private equity investors, businesses and developers on financing transactions ranging from straightforward lending arrangements to complex, high-value and cross-border deals.
Our work covers acquisition and leveraged finance, corporate lending, asset-based lending, real estate and development finance, project finance, refinancing and restructuring. Where a transaction includes wider requirements such as corporate, property, tax, regulatory or insolvency matters, we bring together the relevant additional expertise to provide advice that reflects the broader commercial picture, not just the financing arrangements in isolation.
