I am a banking and finance lawyer, undertaking a wide range of debt finance work - with particular expertise in mid-market acquisition financings,  cross jurisdictional matters and general corporate lending.  I act for borrowers, banks and financial institutions at both senior and mezzanine level, on a bilateral, club and syndicated basis.  I have experience of advising on regional, national and international transactions.

I work with a range of documentation including facility agreements, security documents, intercreditor agreements and legal opinions. My experience includes working with bilateral bank standard documentation as well as Loan Market Association and bespoke finance documents.  My recent experience includes:

• advising Five Arrows and Texthelp, the global leader in literacy and assistive technology, on the merger of Texthelp with n2y, a trailblazer in special education curriculum resources, which included (amongst other things) advising Texthelp in relation to the granting of European security under its multi-million global financing arrangement for the new international group – including the US, England, Northern Ireland and Norway.
• advising a group operating a global network of learning businesses - including England, Brazil, Spain, The Netherlands and the US, in relation to multi-million US dollar amendment and restatement of its existing English law facilities with a major UK clearing bank.
