Any legal transaction can be a long, complex, and stressful process. If it’s not done properly, you could end up at a loss, so it’s vital to have a professional working with you. Banking and finance lawyers specialise in providing legal advice to organisations engaged in large legal transactions; such as mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings and even liquidations. You might find yourself dealing with any number of finance documents up for negotiation, including:
- facility agreements;
- security documents;
- guarantees;
- priority agreements;
- subordination agreements;
- hedge agreements; and
- various ancillary documents.
Banking and finance law is regulated by specific pieces of legislation and governed by numerous regulatory bodies. As such, it’s a complex field of practice and experienced finance practitioners should be engaged to help smoothly negotiate finance documents and navigate the process of a banking and finance transaction. Given the complex legal frameworks that govern transactions in both the domestic and global economy, it is extremely important to engage an experienced finance practitioner to draft and negotiate such finance documents to accurately document the terms and conditions of financial arrangements to:
- ensure they reflect the commercial agreement between the parties; and
- abide by such legal frameworks.
