Firms To Watch: Asset based lending

At Osborne Clarke LLP, team head James Tarleton  is able to 'navigate complex situations with a practical and commercial view', and has, since his arrival towards the end of 2019 from Addleshaw Goddard, continued to raise the firm's profile among borrowers and lenders by dint of his versatile working capital and receivables finance offering.
At Taylor Wessing LLP, 'extremely capable' UK banking head Martin Yells regularly advises on new money ABL-related transactions for borrowers and lenders, while Nick Moser is appreciated for his 'excellent work' on the restructuring and contentious insolvency front.

Asset based lending in London

Addleshaw Goddard

Led from London by the ‘commercial and knowledgeable’ Mike Davison and able to call upon significant resources in key regional locations, including Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh, Addleshaw Goddard has ‘deep bench strength’ across the asset-based lending (ABL) product, from a new money, as well as restructuring/litigation perspective. This knowledge manifests itself not only in transactional work, but also helping to launch new products for established lenders, as well as working with start-ups bringing tech-led ABL products to market. As well as its core involvement in domestic transactions for lenders and borrowers, the team also continues to gain traction handling cross-border mandates, including Davison’s work for Indian-owned company Jubilant Pharma on their entry into $400m facilities with Standard Chartered Bank. Manchester-based Lauren Priest-Stephens was also involved in the aforementioned deal and is noted for her ‘superb market knowledge and practical approach’. Other recommended practitioners include Anna Hodgson, for ABL-related restructurings/insolvencies; Manchester-based Harold Brako , for ABL and receivables financing disputes; Euan Cluness, in Edinburgh, who has a specialism advising on ABL financings in the distillery sector; and Leeds-based Philippa McCarthy, whose arrival in September 2022 from Pinsent Masons LLP enhances the firm’s ABL transactional capability in the North East of the country. All named practitioners are based in London unless otherwise indicated.

Mayer Brown International LLP

Appreciated for its 'willingness to innovate bespoke solutions for complex structuring problems', Mayer Brown International LLP remains best-suited to advising lenders on complex debt financing solutions where the ABL product is utilised, either on its own, or alongside other financing techniques to facilitate often highly sophisticated solutions. A good deal of this work has a cross-border complexion, either in the context of US-originated deals or European deals for US-owned lenders; in this regard the team remains at the vanguard of the migration of US techniques/terms to the European market. Simon Fisher  is key to many of these multi-jurisdictional transactions, and working alongside practitioners in the firm's Chicago headquarters has recently handled several large-scale cross-border receivable financings within the IT/tech sector. Ravi Amin, who was recently promoted to partner, also continues to impress as a result of his willingness to provide 'commercial and business-sensitive' advice, as opposed to purely what is "market", with one client commenting: 'he is so good that we consider him an extension of our team'. Alex Dell , who co-heads the team alongside the vastly experienced Dominic Griffiths , also remains vital to the firm's success both on behalf of traditional banking clients, as well as a growing number of alternative credit providers which are increasingly visible in the market. Victoria Thompson was a recent notable addition to the team, joining from Morgan, Lewis & Bockius UK LLP.

DLA Piper

‘A market leader in the ABL sphere’, DLA Piper provides ‘professional and skilful advice’ to creditors and debtors, including traditional banks, independent ABL funds, corporates and sponsors, across a broad swathe of domestic syndicated and bilateral ABL transactions. The team’s geographical diversity, which includes practitioners in key regional centres including Leeds, Manchester and Edinburgh, as well as London, ensures that the firm is well-plugged in to the domestic ecosystem, while its broad international footprint marks the firm out as a sensible choice for cross-border matters. Another core strength of the team is its ability to provide advice throughout the life cycle of a deal, both at the front end (including on product development), as well as in any subsequent restructurings/insolvencies and litigation. Manchester-based partner Joseph Frew embodies this all-encompassing approach, being equally adept at handling transactional work as he is advising funders on the drafting and development of template documentation for ABL facilities. Based out of Leeds, the ‘excellent’ Sarah Day co-heads the team alongside Frew, and has garnered an excellent track record among UK and US banks as a result of her aptitude at handling relatively commoditised domestic mandates as well as highly structured and cross-border financial transactions. Neil Riley spearheads the ABL-related restructuring work from the London office, while Manchester-based Legal Director Alastair Carruthers is gaining a reputation as a ‘high-quality lawyer’, whose work for a variety of funders and companies is praised as being ‘almost partner like in how they approach working with clients’.

On the lender front, the firm is particularly well-placed to advice clearing bank clients, where it is able to leverage deep institutional relationships established not only through the ABL team, which is headed from Birmingham by Edward Sunderland, but also as a result of the firm's broader banking and real estate finance offerings. This cohesive approach also manifests itself in the ease with which the team is able to advise on deals where the ABL product is used in conjunction with other debt products, as well as in less conventional matters - including the team's recent work for RBS Invoice Finance on its debut sustainability linked ABL facility provided to the Recycling Lives Group. Birmingham-based partner Victoria Baker led on the aforementioned deal and is appreciated for her 'commercial mindset whilst recognising and being able to articulate the core legal issues'. For "bad book" work, the team is able to call upon the expertise of numerous strong restructuring lawyers with deep understanding of ABL products. Key among these is Amy Flavell, whose expertise covers formal insolvency, distressed transactional work, as well as advice in a risk management context. All named practitioners are based out of Birmingham.

Squire Patton Boggs

The 'very commercial' team at Squire Patton Boggs, which is led from London by the 'exceptional' Paula Laird, remains a popular choice among a lender-focused client base across a wide range of ABL-related transactions, from both a bilateral and syndicated perspective. Many of these financing transactions utilise ABL debt in an event-driven scenario, where the team's ability to leverage its broader financial services prowess, as well as international practitioners across Continental Europe and the US, is a strong selling point on deals which typically involve complex inter-creditor arrangements and multi-jurisdictional considerations. As Laird herself devotes more time to her managerial role as head of banking across Europe and the Middle East, a good deal of the day-to-day involvement is handled by director Tom Dell’Avvocato in London and from Leeds by Tom Telford, who are both well-versed in a range of domestic and cross-border deals for clients including Wells Fargo.

As well as advice on transactional work, which includes the use of ABL for working capital purposes and to facilitate event-driven mandates including M&A, Knight also regularly advises on product development and restructuring matters.

The team is particularly active in the tech, manufacturing and retail sectors, an area that associate James Mead has strong visibility, both on the new money and restructuring front.
