Commercial Banking Matters Solicitors
Commercial and Corporate Services
During their lifetime, most companies will require the assistance of finance to assist cashflow or to Invest In new technology or other assets to assist expansion. Alternatively, a company may use debt finance known as factoring as a way of funding a specific project. Regardless of the reason, the process of borrowing money as a business is usually more complex than lending to an individual. Often such finance is offered based on the offer of some security by the Company and on occasion by the Directors. As such, specialist advice from a commercial lawyer is often required.
O’ Donnell Solicitors are able to represent companies providing security In respect of secured loans on refinancing and Directors offering Personal Guarantees. Banking is an area of law that often requires some negotiation between the parties’ solicitors as well as advice on the type of security required. There are many considerations to take into account; particularly when drafting loan facility documentation. Facility agreements are usually drafted by the lender’s solicitor and therefore will usually be drafted to protect the lender’s position. Accordingly, they may be particularly onerous on the borrower and will require negotiation in order to more adequately balance each parties’ interests.
