Our Banking sector expertise

Our lawyers have a specialist and in-depth knowledge of the sector; many either started their working lives in the industry or have benefitted from substantive secondments with clients. Several are members of influential committees including the Banking Law Committee of the International Bar Association and the Committee on Banking Technique and Practice of the ICC (UK).

We understand the way banks and financial institutions do business, how they manage their assets, and how they deal with claims against them.

We also understand, and are responsive to, the rapid pace of change across the sector including new regulations, fluctuating international dynamics and shifting commercial realities (such as the opening of new sources of funding).

High value enforcement action

Representing an offshore lender involved in a joint loan of approximately £12m to two companies for land development in the North West of England, secured by legal charges and personal guarantees. After the companies defaulted, we assisted in various enforcement actions, including appointing receivers, and addressing issues with UN1 registrations from potential buyers. We are currently pursuing the directors under their personal guarantees to mitigate a substantial shortfall of over £6m for the lender.

Loan restructure to safeguard client’s commercial stability

We were involved in renegotiating and extending significant loan and revolving credit facilities on behalf of our client, a well-known plc. Our team acted quickly to ensure the new financing arrangements could be assessed by the company auditors prior to signing off annual accounts. Meeting the tight timeframe ensured the client had uninterrupted access to funding and avoided any threat to the financial stability of the business.
