Your challenges
In the acquisition finance arena, the current economic situation presents opportunities as well as challenges. While finance may be harder to obtain than previously, banks and other specialist lenders are prepared to lend for the right proposition with a carefully thought through strategy and business plan.
Achieving your ambitions
For an acquisitive company you need your lawyers to be up to date on the latest market situation and to know and be able to predict the likely requirements and reactions of a funder. For a lender looking to fund such acquisitions, you expect your lawyers not only to be experienced, responsive and commercial but also to understand the changed risk climate in which you operate.

We have a strong and experienced team who spend 100 per cent of their time on banking and finance matters. In addition, we have access to all the resources of a major UK law firm which includes specialists in areas such as corporate finance, pensions, tax, employment and share options.
