Osborne Clarke's banking and finance group does just that. Our extensive mid-market experience and knowledge of the various risk parameters of the layers of funding of a transaction enables us to manage the deal effectively.
Increasingly, clients expect a focused approach from their advisers. In financial terms, they do not want to waste time arguing about inconsequential legal issues. They want to identify and close in on those points that really do make a difference to the success of the deal and which build relationships. Whilst not missing the small points, we focus on the bigger picture.
We represent banks, financial institutions, private equity investors, and corporate borrowers and advise on a range of structured and leveraged financial tools and solutions. In particular, this includes (i) acquisition finance, (ii) corporate lending, (iii) asset finance, (iv) real estate finance, (v) project finance and (vi) restructuring. We also have a strong reputation for advice in connection with cards and payment services, insolvency and corporate recovery and finance disputes.
If you are working across multiple jurisdictions we will provide international transactional and regulatory advice. Working alongside our colleagues in other areas within the firm we also advise on related employment & benefits, commercial, technology, intellectual property, outsourcing, litigation, tax, pensions and real estate issues.
Whatever the service, our banking and finance clients can rely on receiving a partner-led service that combines technical expertise, sector knowledge and risk assessment with the ability to meet objectives and budgets.
According to the Legal 500 2004, Osborne Clarke's banking practice offers “'an excellent quality of service from partner level through to assistant level'… praised for being 'client-friendly', 'pragmatic', and 'technically excellent'”.
