Investors and Borrowers

Our approach is simple: whether we are acting for a lender or a borrower, our job is to steer your transaction to completion as efficiently as possible. To achieve this, we are:

• Flexible. And not just in making ourselves available when it suits you. We can also discuss different approaches to how we deliver our services and charge our fees.
• Efficient. We focus on the issues that matter to you, and staff each matter with the appropriate resources.
• Effective. Our banking team has a broad experience of all types of transactions, acting for borrowers and lenders. Most of us have spent time on secondment with clients, so we understand what matters to our clients.
• Innovative. In both structuring solutions and providing technical advice.

Basically, we are easy to work with; we offer advice that is practical and easy to understand, and deliver maximum commercial results with minimum fuss.
