Banking & Finance

The McGrigors Banking & Finance team offers a full range of legal services to both financiers and borrowers.

 

Our team's advice extends to all types of lending and security transactions from the straightforward to the highly complex. The specialised legal documentation necessary is provided efficiently and effectively as a result of the experience of our whole team in all areas of financing.

 

The fundamental principle which underlies our banking & finance practice is that our lawyers are not only finance lawyers - they also have a full conceptual understanding of the underlying transaction being financed, whether it be a corporate acquisition, complex asset finance, a PPP or energy project or a real estate development.

 

We are recognised by our clients as working as part of their team to deliver deals that achieve their objectives. We communicate with our clients to understand the drivers behind the deal and the required outcome. In delivering legal solutions, we often create innovative structures or work on pathfinder transactions. We have a successful secondment programme in place which is well received by our banking clients.

 

As with so many areas of legal advice these days, banking and finance lawyers are frequently retained either to lead, or be part of, a team of practitioners from many different disciplines.

 

We are also experts in retail and wholesale banking and investment regulation and provide cradle to grave regulatory and compliance advice to the financial sector.

 

Our Banking & Finance team operates throughout the UK. We can resource large transactions at short notice at any of our locations within the UK and then project manage them via McGrigors Document ExChange (MDeX), our online deal room, so as to deliver the best service for our clients.
