Our Banking team advises on corporate financings, ranging from short-term overdrafts to longer-term revolving credit facilities. Our expertise covers bilateral lending and group arrangements, including secured and unsecured deals often with complex asset bases or multiple jurisdiction issues.

We advise on club and syndicated finance, including deals with Loan Market Association based documents. As well as advising on syndicated loan agreements, we can advise on related documents, including mandate letters and syndication agreements. We can also advise on derivate products, including swaps.
