I am a banking and finance lawyer specialising in housing finance, with a particular focus on social housing finance. I have acted for a variety of both borrowers and lenders, including registered providers of social housing, corporate borrowers, bank lenders and institutional investors.
I have experience acting on a range of funding matters, including debt capital markets transactions as well as syndicated and bilateral loan facilities. I am very familiar with private placement transactions with either European or American investors into the social housing sector, having acted on several note purchase issues for UK housing association issuers.
I regularly assist on real estate finance transactions, with these often involving cross-jurisdictional debt restructuring and simultaneous refinancing.
