Squire Patton Boggs
Squire Patton Boggs‘ practice is led from its Manchester office by Matthew Ingram, who is a specialist in complex work involving acquisition and restructuring refinancings, ABL issues, and leveraged and real estate finance work. The team is well equipped to handle complex and high-value work for its portfolio of clients. Much of the team’s workload has cross-border elements; it recently advised FTSE 250 company Genuit Group on a high-value revolving credit facility, which spanned the UK, US and Dubai. ’Excellent lawyer’ Claire Shepherd regularly leads on high-profile work and recently handled the funding of the construction of Everton Football Club’s new stadium. Legal director Andrew Kirkham is a key name to note.
