We seek to understand and achieve the commercial outcomes required by the client, actively managing the transaction and offering solutions that enable those outcomes to be achieved. We aim to work constructively with all parties without “over lawyering”. The majority of our work is for mid-market secured lending transactions, both for borrowers and lenders, including acquisition and leveraged debt, real estate development and finance; general secured and structured lending, often with an international element.
