Our asset based lending (ABL) team has broad experience across the full spectrum of ABL finance. We advise high street banks, specialist banks, peer to peer lenders, independent funders as well as corporate borrowers.

Our advice

Advice covers transaction structuring, preparation and negotiation of term sheets, facility documentation, security structures, reviewing underlying debtor contracts and negotiating inter-creditor arrangements.
