Leverage finance and sponsor led debt transactions
At Browne Jacobson we’re on-hand to advise at all stages of a transaction; from term sheet negotiations and debt structuring to documentation and post-deal support, as well as bolt-on acquisitions, amendments and general advice.
We see our role as more than providing legal advice. We’re proud of our reputation for delivering partner-led, commercially-orientated advice that reaches beyond the legal aspects of documents.
Our leveraged finance practice advises banks, alternative debt providers, sponsors and corporate borrowers on financing buy-outs and event-driven transactions in the mid-market space.
Through our international network we’re able to provide multi-jurisdictional support on cross-border transactions.
We also actively seek to identify commercial opportunities for our clients, acting as a link between our clients, funders and intermediaries.

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.

Sequana: Supreme clarification on the duty owed to creditors
The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed the BTI v Sequana appeal and reviewed the existence, content and engagement of the so-called ‘creditor duty’; being the point at which the interest of creditors is said to intrude upon the decision-making of directors of companies in financial distress.
