We spend time wisely.

Teamwork and collaboration are at the heart of our approach. These qualities enable us to successfully advise on ambitious finance transactions and guide you from the start of a transaction through to completion.

We work closely with other specialist lawyers within our firm, which enables us to propose the most suitable solutions for you, tailored to your specific needs. Our expertise also extends to cross-border transactions, enhanced by international contacts that enable us to manage these transactions efficiently.  

We represent leading banks, specialist lenders and a diverse range of corporate clients, which makes us uniquely positioned to negotiate complex funding structures. Our broad client base not only amplifies our negotiation capabilities, it provides us with a comprehensive understanding of both sides of a transaction, with the ability to communicate differing perspectives with clarity.

Our advice extends across the full range of transactions, from structured debt arrangements and all forms of security, to complex intercreditor arrangements. When things don’t go to plan, we can support you through challenging situations – advising businesses and lenders dealing with defaulting borrowers on the best course of action.

  • The debt finance team at Capital Law have been instrumental in helping us on many of our leveraged finance transactions, across our private funds. The team’s depth of knowledge, professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction are outstanding. Throughout our partnership, Capital Law have been more than just legal advisors, they are our trusted partners.

    Rebecca Sinclair | Senior Investment Manager

  • I have always been thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and dedication exhibited by Capital Law. However what I am more grateful for is the relationship built up with the members of the Banking and Property teams in particular. The commitment to understanding our needs and providing tailored advice has been invaluable. It can be rare to find a firm that provides such a high level of expertise with a truly client centred approach.

    I look forward to continuing my relationship with Capital Law in the near and long term future.

  • To the awesome Capital team, you have been phenomenal in your representation of us in the face of mind boggling idiocy. We are extremely grateful for your diligence, professionalism and good humour throughout this process. We look forward to the next one and couldn’t conceive of finding a better business partner to work with us over the next few years.

  • I just wanted to convey what a great job the Capital Law team and specifically Chris Lewis did in helping me get the transaction to completion. There were a number of last minute issues, but Chris went out of his way to help me to find commercial solutions as I worked with stakeholders in the borrower company to find a solution.”
