The 'very commercial, communicative and efficient' team at Hugh James advises a fairly balanced mix of borrowers and lenders across a range of financing mandates for general working capital purposes, event-driven-work, and real estate financing purposes. On the borrower front, the firm's well-established ties with the Welsh Rugby Union, the Welsh government (as well as in its role as creditor) and S.A.Brain, ensure that the team is involved in a considerable volume of deals of national importance. For lender work, under the guidance of 'highly knowledgeable' team head Dominic Marshall , the team continues to grow its relationship with Metro Bank, not only advising it on lending facilities but also helping to draft/develop its template standard documentation.
