The old saying ‘money makes the world go around’ is never more true than when related to arrangements to lend and borrow money.
Lending or borrowing money needs to be clearly documented to protect you whether you are acting as a lender or borrower. We can help by reviewing agreements and by drafting appropriate documentation to ensure you have practical and enforceable arrangements.
Granting of security over property, charges, debentures, guarantees, charge over shares – there are many different ways lenders look to get extra protection when they loan money. However a lender is looking to obtain collateral security, the documentation is going to be complex. These are technical documents and we can help either preparing or reviewing and negotiating them to provide the most workable security solution for your particular circumstances
We also give independent legal advice to Directors granting security to support bank lending to their companies.
We act for management teams (for instance MBOs, BIMBOs, Buy-in Management Buy-Out) and companies receiving venture capital investments with experience in share incentive schemes, joint venture agreements, investment agreements and shareholder agreements, share options and corporate structuring including share rights and articles of association.
