The ‘knowledgeable’ team was bolstered by the arrival of the ‘eloquent’ Deborah Carmichael in March 2023, who brings ‘deep expertise’ in acting for borrowers and lenders in debt-related work. Amanda Jones is very experienced in handling preference share funding and leverage and acquisition financings.
