Across the public and private sectors, and from listed businesses to private individuals, finance is the fuel that keeps commerce and society moving forward. We are acknowledged leaders in real estate finance, helping organisations, businesses and individuals to buy and sell the places they need to live and work.
In the public sector we have deep expertise in helping housing associations and local authorities access funding and manage their finances effectively and efficiently. In the private sector we are known for our expertise in helping lenders to invest securely and profitably including in the Middle East where we act for a large number of banks as well as corporate borrowers across those jurisdictions.
We have a long track record of helping investors to purchase UK property. Fluent in both conventional and Islamic finance, we have a particular expertise in helping clients from the Middle East and Asia to invest in the UK – offering them a lower risk route to the UK property market.
We often act for both government bodies and developers on real estate finance matters, helping them to secure funding and transmit finance through well-structured loan programmes. Working for both funders and developers – we are expert in bringing parties together and using our unique 360-degree view to help them navigate sectors and secure new opportunities. Well respected in the real estate sector – we have deep relationships with intermediaries and are often their first port of call.
From a shortage of land to a shortfall in public funding - the real estate sector is facing multiple challenges. Increasing pressure to demonstrate real value and achieve economies of scale is driving mergers, reorganisations and the founding of new organisations. We are always on hand to guide our clients with experienced advice on finance and banking law and to access legal expertise across Trowers.
We have particular expertise in debt capital markets work including in the Middle East with an Islamic element. This includes sukuk issuances both sovereign and corporate, restructuring work and insolvency and large scale syndicated financing.
We often manage entire projects for our clients, bringing together not just the legal part of a transaction but the sourcing of partners and overall management too. Commercial in our outlook, always consistent and dedicated, we build lasting partnerships with our clients – adding value with financial training and secondment opportunities.
