Ashurst

Established in 2012 by Tim Rennie and Nicholas Moore, and now also including the expertise of recently promoted Briony Holcombe, Ashurst‘s dedicated three-partner corporate lending offering has the focus and resources to provide a very effective and cost-effective service to corporates and lenders across the spectrum of corporate lending activity. One of several in the team with in-house banking expertise, Moore has an excellent perspective, from both a creditor and debtor viewpoint, of the commercial and legal pinch-points of transactions and has deep involvement across a broad swathe of investment grade lending mandates. He has also been increasingly active advising on sustainability-linked loans, as has Holcombe for a lender focused client base, including on big-ticket underwritten facilities. Rennie rounds out the team at a partner level, and as well as his balanced debtor and creditor offering (which also includes a considerable volume of ESG-related syndicated mandates), is also a market-leader advising financial advisers on the cash confirmation process required by the Takeover Panel pursuant to public-to-private M&A deals. Counsel Darren Phelan is also recommended.
