We have acted for many of the UK’s largest banks for many years and it is this experience in depth that sets us apart. This experience is coupled with a high level of knowledge and expertise throughout every member of our dedicated team of banking lawyers. This means our banking clients receive not only the highest level of technical advice, but advice which is delivered with both commerciality and common sense.
The work for banks and other financial institutions covers all aspects of banking practice - facility letters, loan agreements, security documents, priority deeds, intercreditor agreements and subordination documents, as well as regulatory and documentary projects, insolvency and turnaround advice and banking litigation. Some of the institutions that we have recently acted for include Lloyds Banking Group, Santander, Yorkshire Bank, The Co-operative Bank and Allied Irish Bank.
We also act for borrowers, including businessses and public and private instituions, advising on all aspects of their funding requirements, such as funding for acquisitions, re-financing, re-structuring or general working capital needs. We ensure that the borrowers we act for are fully aware of their obligations and liabilities to their funders.

We have a longstanding commitment to the banking sector dating back over 100 years. The future of banking in the UK is both dynamic and changing. Banks and their customers need to continually adapt to an ever-changing regulatory and business environment. We are here to help them do just that.
We are happy to share our expertise. We offer dedicated and specialist training to our banking clients, allowing them to train their staff and minimise their risk. The training officer of a major financial institution recently told us that “you are consistently given some of the best, if not the best, feedback from the training sessions you provide for us”. This is indicative of our ability to explain complex issues to our clients in a clear and user-friendly way. It is just one of the many ways we add value to the legal advice we offer our banking clients.
