Lenders and borrowers

When it comes to financing a commercial or investment property we’re highly experienced at acting for either side of the transaction.

Working with our commercial and corporate law team, we’ll advise on drafting loans or facility agreements and other security documentation. We support clients looking for simple bilateral loans or more complex syndicated agreements, and also advise on legal charges over one property or a portfolio, equity-sharing, mortgages and single or group lending structures.

For lenders, we’ll also help them determine whether the property makes for good loan security. And if it’s a development project, we can also approve construction contracts and professional team documentation, as well as acting for lenders on loans and collateral warranty documentation.

Our strong links to well-established firms in offshore jurisdictions means we regularly act for lenders or borrowers in transactions on loans to offshore companies secured on property in England and Wales.
