Our work includes general lending, hotel financing, receivables financing, trade and commodities financing, guarantee programmes, risk distribution arrangements, margin lending, bank template projects, financial institution lending, sovereign lending – in each case either in a transactional or advisory context.
The team is headed by three partners – Katie Gill, David Leggott and Andrew Taylor supported by a team of dedicated banking associates. The team also works regularly with other teams in London and in Hogan Lovells' international offices.
