Meet the trainee

Name:

Victoria Pender

Position:

2^nd year trainee

Current seat:

Corporate and banking. I work on a wide range of matters including acquisitions, restructures, and debt finance.

Office:

Birmingham

Major casework:

I assist on the support elements of corporate transactions such as disclosure letters and documents. I have worked on several substantial banking transactions and have been responsible for managing the pre-requisites required for the bank to make the funds available to the borrower. I have also undertaken a financial assistance and whitewash procedure.

Recent achievements:

I recently supported the refinancing of Superior Plumbing Installations Limited Refinancing in conjunction with Lyceum Capital.  We advised Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets Acquisition Finance on this deal which was completed for an undisclosed sum. The refinancing involved a number of other parties including Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets as senior debt provider and Deloittes as corporate finance advisors.

Life outside the law:  

I have been involved with the Trainee Solicitors' Group since the beginning of my training contract. My first role was in the Nottinghamshire Trainee Solicitors Group as marketing secretary where I was responsible for marketing events and helping to maintain relationships with sponsors. I was later elected as President of the Nottinghamshire Trainee Solicitors Group and now sit on the National Executive as membership director. 

I train for half marathons in my spare time and like to socialise with my friends, visiting the many bars and restaurants of Birmingham at the weekends.
