Banking Transaction Update July 2022 – National transactions
Browne Jacobson continues to see good levels of transactional activity with certain sectors being particularly buoyant: healthcare, financial services, energy & infrastructure and tech.
There are clearly challenging macro-economic factors at play but at Browne Jacobson we continue to see good levels of transactional activity with certain sectors being particularly buoyant: healthcare, financial services, energy and infrastructure and tech.
The market sentiment that we are picking up is that corporates, investors and debt funders feel positive that businesses can adapt to deal with the external challenges - as they did so impressively during CV19. That market confidence is also evidenced by the investment we are making in our own business at Browne Jacobson; we are about to move into new offices in Birmingham (the iconic 103 Colmore Row) and we have opened an office in Dublin.
We do though sense some increased caution but to date we have not seen evidence of deal flow dropping off as liquidity levels and the appetite for businesses in resilient sectors remains high. The remainder of 2022 will be an interesting period and at Browne Jacobson we remain confident that deal activity will hold up.
Attached are details of recent deals we’ve been involved with nationally.

Trigger happy when directors’ duties are the target?
In a judgment handed down yesterday the Supreme Court has affirmed that a so called “creditor duty” exists for directors such that in some circumstances company directors are required to act in accordance with, or to consider the interests of creditors. Those circumstances potentially arise when a company is insolvent or where there is a “probability” of an insolvency. We explore below the “trigger” for such a test to apply and its implications.
