Led from London by Steve Mackie and also able to leverage strong regional resources, including Manchester and Leeds, Addleshaw Goddard provides a cost-effective and solutions-oriented service to lenders providing financing to corporates in bilateral, club and syndicated contexts. The firm’s clearing bank relationships continue to inform much of the corporate lending work, particularly in the mid-market space, however, it has also continued to gain traction among commercial/international banks, which are attracted to the firm’s ability to advise on transactions incorporating a range of financing techniques, including ABL and structured finance. Amanda Gray , who co-heads the financial services sector, is adept at advising lenders and borrowers across a range of debt products, and has also been at the forefront of the firm's efforts on the ESG and sustainable finance front.
