Finance & Security.
Securing commercial funding or structuring debt? Our business contract solicitors provide practical, tailored legal advice to guide lenders and borrowers through complex financial and security arrangements.
The Corporate Law Team at Lanyon Bowdler has a wealth of experience in finance and security.
It is one of our biggest work areas and our specialist solicitors act for numerous clients across a wide variety of sectors.
Particular areas of expertise include:
It is very important to properly manage the relationship between the lender and borrower or chargor and chargee to ensure both parties’ interests are catered for in a fair way.
Large scale refinancing can take place for a number of reasons, including consolidation of lenders, preparing for acquisitions and sales or simply to get a better deal. Lanyon Bowdler has many years’ experience in this area, in particular, in the agricultural and technology sectors.
Our experienced solicitors are very knowledgeable around financial and security matters. Get in touch today and we would be more than happy to help.
When advising on investments, it is important to have the correct legal advice as there are lots of potential holes which could scupper the effectiveness of security and leave the lender as an unsecured creditor if things go wrong.
In recent years we have advised on corporate financing, security and debt matters exceeding £60 million.
Our team is ready to guide you through the process involved in securing investment for your firm. Having a fully qualified expert on your side will smooth the way to a successful outcome, avoiding the exposure to risk that can occur.
Our experience extends to helping business start-ups and the more established company looking to grow or branch out in a different direction. Whatever the reason, our team is here to look after your interests.
We are able to assist with the numerous varied contracts and agreements that need to be put in place and we will carry out your instructions in clear, plain language to ensure negotiations come to a satisfactory conclusion.
