BANKING

Advice on Specialised Banking Matters

Banking agreements are among the most complex and binding financial commitments undertaken by a business.
Our team has extensive experience in banking law and practice and represents your interests with expertise and independence.

Specialised advisory services:

A. Loan Facilities & Agreements

Before signing a banking agreement — or if you have already signed one — you should understand precisely what it means for you.

• Review of loan and guarantee agreements
• Assessment of new or existing loan terms
• Rights and obligations of borrowers and guarantors
• Assessment of the effect of a Floating Charge over the company’s assets

B. Expert Reports & Advice

In the event of a dispute with a bank our independent expert opinion may prove decisive and may be presented before the Court in cooperation with specialist legal counsel.

We assess whether the bank has exercised its powers in good faith — for example whether a Receiver or Receiver–Manager appointed by the bank under a Floating Charge Debenture is acting in the best interests of the company.

C. Appointment of a Receiver–Manager

When a company is unable to meet its contractual obligations the bank may be entitled to appoint a Receiver–Manager under a Floating Charge Debenture. The Receiver–Manager assumes control of the company’s assets.
The appointment may support the company’s recovery.

• Guidance for directors regarding their rights and obligations following the appointment
• Assessment of whether the Receiver–Manager is acting lawfully and in accordance with the terms of appointment
• Support in negotiations with the bank to prevent or terminate the appointment
• Protection of the interests of shareholders and employees
