Where you’ll work :
We are real estate finance specialists, but we’re different from other regional banking practices. We punch well above our weight in our chosen markets.

We aim to achieve creative, practical financing solutions and to get the deal done.
Effective financing arrangements are an essential foundation for any successful enterprise. Our lawyers have a thorough understanding of the sectors in which we specialise. This comes from many years of experience and from working closely with clients and colleagues from different legal disciplines. We do not just work in a banking and finance or real estate “box” but take a broader view of a client’s business and objectives. Whether acting for borrowers or funders, we aim to play our part in placing the customer’s financing on a firm footing and provide the foundations for future success and a strong working relationship between borrower and funders.
