Acquisition Finance
divider
Structuring acquisition finance transactions requires up-to-date market awareness and a clear understanding of how this impacts on the type of financing required. Your lawyers require to be flexible and have the ability to meet or exceed increasingly tight timetables. Our dedicated mid-market team offers a comprehensive range of senior and mezzanine debt and services in connection with LBOs/MBOs.

We start by listening to what you need, in terms of finance, issues, timescales, budget and outcomes. Then we apply our in-depth understanding of the many different structured and leveraged finance tools and solutions to deliver you clear advice and a recommended strategy. Our priority is finding you the best solution at the right cost, so we will bring on board any additional expertise, from our private equity and corporate teams or other specialists in tax, employment & benefits, pensions and real estate. If you need it, colleagues from our international network are also on hand to offer you reliable, practical advice on collateral security interests in multiple jurisdictions.

Our experience is extensive. Over the last 12 months, our acquisition finance team has acted on over 40 acquisition finance deals with a deal value in excess of £2 billion. We have worked on all aspects of debt financing associated with acquisitions, including management buy-outs and buy-ins, institutional buy-outs and public to private (P2P) transactions. Our clients include banks, financial institutions, private equity houses, corporate entities and management teams.

Examples of our recent experience include:
  • Royal Bank of Scotland plc on the loan facilities to Pyros Environmental Limited to acquire the incineration and waste management business of Veolia at Fawley (value confidential)
  • Redstone plc on their acquisition debt in connection with purchase of IDN Telecom Limited for £35 million
  • Bank of Scotland on their loan of $85 million to LS Precision Manufacturing Inc to fund the acquisition of PRD Holdings Limited
