Our banking lawyers help firms navigate the regulatory environment in which they operate and advise on the compliance of their activities and products. We work in synergy with our clients to deliver regulatorily robust and commercially sound solutions on a wide variety of retail banking & regulated finance matters ranging from new product development, consumer credit and mortgages, to account terms and conditions and regulatory compliance.
Our banking lawyers' specialisms and wealth of in-house experience mean we understand our financial services clients' business drivers and priorities.
We are experienced in acquisition and warehousing/securitisation transactions where regulated loans, mortgages and other banking products are involved. We have played a significant role in helping clients in respect of regulatory due diligence for acquisition activity and regulated product financing arrangements. These include bank and regulated loan portfolio acquisitions as well as structured financings of portfolios from warehousings to full securitisation and Bank of England liquidity facilities.
Brodies could easily grasp, understand and adapt to complex changes in deal structure and challenging negotiations.
