From simple lending structures to complex regulatory regimes, our Banking and Finance team helps borrowers and lenders to navigate the often complex legal framework that underpins borrowing and lending in the global economy.
At Lex, we value time and effort exerted into transactions in this field and as such, we play a pivotal role in drafting and negotiating the contracts that set out the terms of various debt-funding arrangements.
Whether the client requires financing for the acquisition of a company or a property, or for the construction of a new Hotel or Bank, our legal team is at your disposal to help advise on how best to proceed so as to meet your full demands.
On a mid-size to large transaction, the banking and finance team will usually consist of at least one partner, a senior associate, an associate and a junior associate. In smaller transactions, an associate partner may lead the transaction, under the supervision of a partner.
