Our experience
In an increasingly complex and competitive financial market, clients benefit from our banking and finance group’s experience from both debtor and creditor perspectives.
Our banking and finance lawyers understand how to manage the legal and commercial risks inherent in all financial transactions and offer smart, effective solutions to both borrowers and lenders. We advise across the full spectrum of financing transactions, including corporate, property (investment and development), acquisition, venture capital, bridge and structured financing matters, as well as solvent and insolvent restructurings and recapitalisations.
The group’s clients include non-bank financiers, corporates (ASX-listed and privates), property developers, property funds, private equity, hedge and special situation funds, family offices, entrepreneurs, business owners, international banks, fund managers and institutional investors in both domestic and international transactions.
We understand that for many of our clients, financing is just one aspect of the deal, so our teams are resourced to provide legal services across all disciplines required with our property, construction, commercial, insolvency and tax teams. This allows us to seamlessly deliver strategic, commercial and pragmatic solutions that effectively balance risk and reward.
"The ability to translate commercial imperatives into legal outcomes is extremely important. Being able to do this in a balanced and pragmatic way whilst also minimising risk is critical. Arnold Bloch Leibler consistently delivers in this regard."
