Corporate and commercial legal advice regarding business acquisitions....
Corporate Financial Security, Investment & Facility Agreements.
The Corporate Law Team at Lanyon Bowdler has a wealth of experience in finance and security.
It is one of our biggest work areas and our specialist solicitors act for numerous clients across a wide variety of sectors.
Particular areas of expertise include:
- Refinancing
- Investments
- Lending and borrowing
- Security documentation
- Company guarantees
- Debentures
- Legal charges
It is very important to properly manage the relationship between the lender and borrower or chargor and chargee to ensure both parties’ interests are catered for in a fair way.
Large scale refinancing can take place for a number of reasons, including consolidation of lenders, preparing for acquisitions and sales or simply to get a better deal. Lanyon Bowdler has many years’ experience in this area, in particular, in the agricultural and technology sectors.
Our Expertise
Our experienced solicitors are very knowledgeable around financial and security matters. Get in touch today and we would be more than happy to help.
How can Lanyon Bowdler help?
When advising on investments, it is important to have the correct legal advice as there are lots of potential holes which could scupper the effectiveness of security and leave the lender as an unsecured creditor if things go wrong.
In recent years we have advised on corporate financing, security and debt matters exceeding £60 million.
Our team is ready to guide you through the process involved in securing investment for your firm. Having a fully qualified expert on your side will smooth the way to a successful outcome, avoiding the exposure to risk that can occur.
Our experience extends to helping business start-ups and the more established company looking to grow or branch out in a different direction. Whatever the reason, our team is here to look after your interests.
We are able to assist with the numerous varied contracts and agreements that need to be put in place and we will carry out your instructions in clear, plain language to ensure negotiations come to a satisfactory conclusion.
The Legal 500
The 2025 edition of the Legal 500 states that “Located out of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Conwy, the Lanyon Bowdler practice is characterised by its ‘flexibility’, regularly advising on sales and mergers, management buyouts, alongside complex joint ventures. With the department displaying significant expertise in the agriculture, education and retail industries, the ’exceptional’ Grainne Walters spearheads the outfit from Shrewsbury, primarily focusing on M&A and corporate governance matters. In Ludlow, Edward Burrell is an expert on commercial contracts and franchise agreements, and Conwy-based Jennifer Edwards is also a name to note.”
Chambers UK
The 2025 edition of Chambers UK recognised the team, saying: “Lanyon Bowdler offers expertise in a wide range of legal services. It has vast knowledge of such areas as acquisitions, sales, mergers, management buyouts and buy-ins, investments, reorganisations, and commercial contracts, among many others.
