澳门六合彩资料鈥檚 national banking and finance team have announced a 25% year on year growth in deal volumes for 2021, beating its predicted target of 20%.
Over the last 12 months, the team which is made up of 14 specialist banking lawyers advised on over 300 transactions across various sectors including healthcare, private equity, financial services and tech. The deals have a combined value of 拢1 billion. Some of the highlight deals include advising:
- NatWest and HSBC on funding provided to Dovehaven Care Homes, a North West care home group;
- Complete Detection Systems on its funding from Beechbrook Capital to support its acquisition of Genex Limited and its future buy and build strategy;
- Lloyds Development Capital on senior debt facilities provided by Clydesdale Bank (trading as Virgin Money) in relation to the MBO of Kingswood Corporation;
- NorthEdge on the buyout of ICP and negotiating debt facilities from Santander;
- Santander Growth Capital team in the North West on facilities provided to Nemesis Now Limited.
The team sits alongside the firm鈥檚 national corporate finance practice and was awarded a host of industry accolades throughout 2021 including, the coveted 鈥楥orporate Law Firm of the Year鈥 award at the Midlands Dealmakers Awards and 鈥楻egional Legal Adviser of the Year鈥 at the European Private Equity Awards.
In 2021, the banking & finance team boosted its offering in the North West with the key appointment of partner and new head of banking & finance in Manchester, Graham Ball.
Paul Ray, partner and head of the national banking & finance practice at 澳门六合彩资料, said: 鈥淥ver the last 12 months, our team continued to demonstrate the strength in its deep-rooted sector knowledge and talent in anticipating what the UK banking & finance market may do next by advising on a host of complex diverse deals and projects across various key sectors. Particularly, we saw a real spike in activity across the healthcare and private equity sectors which made up over 50% of our entire team鈥檚 transactions.
鈥淎lthough there are clear headwinds in terms of inflation, energy price increases, recruitment and supply chain challenges, there is an underlying feeling that there is a confidence in the UK business market.
鈥淭he market remained strong throughout 2021 and is likely to remain in a very healthy state in 2022. This is being driven by strong levels of liquidity, particularly because of the wide range of debt providers operating in the market including banks, alternative debt providers and debt funds. It is a trend that isn鈥檛 showing any signs of slowing down in the immediate future.鈥
