Banking & Finance
Edwin Coe’s Banking & Finance practice focuses on funding and investment for specific projects and the acquisition of assets and general corporate purposes.
The team comprises lawyers who have many years’ knowledge and experience of domestic and international financial and banking transactions (some involving a cross border element), including senior and mezzanine lending, public offerings and private equity investment. We regularly represent banks, funds, other lenders, borrowers and investors in transactions involving funding and corporate acquisitions and development and/or refinancing of commercial and residential real estate.
We can also advise on related issues such as taxation, compliance/regulatory requirements, participations and assignments/syndications and restructurings. All transactions are partner-led and handled by qualified and dedicated specialists. We aim to provide advice which is not only accurate and comprehensive but also practical and commercial, proactively seeking solutions to questions which arise
