Viberts advises a number of international banks, but maintains a broad lender and borrower-side practice across a range of financing structures, including real estate development, bridge and Islamic facilities. Paul Wilson leads the team. Christopher Scholefield and James Lawrence handle real estate financing matters, and the latter also handles securitisation matters. Nic Le Breuilly arrived from Ogier in October 2023, bringing with him experience in fund, acquisition and real estate finance.
