Victoria Dingle, Partner

Demand clear, plain English advice from your professional advisors.

Discuss the transaction with your advisors as early as possible in the process to ensure that timescales are met and everyone is aware of any consents or third-party approvals that may be required.

Clearly communicate what it is you hope to achieve and what a successful outcome looks like to you. If there is something in the scope and quote that you don’t understand or agree with, question it.

How long until we can complete?

We’ll aim for a swift resolution, but the exact timescale very much depends on the speed of the transaction parties and whether any third-party consents or approvals are required.

What risks do I need to be aware of?

This differs on a case-by-case basis but each loan and security agreement will contain fundamental protections for the lender and obligations on the borrower.

How much will this cost?

We will work to agree a clear quote and scope at the outset so that each of the parties is aware of what is expected of them and their estimated costs.
