Claire Shepherd - Squire Patton Boggs
Within: Banking and finance
Squire Patton Boggs is praised for its ‘outstanding industry knowledge’. The team handles a range of financing transactions, with expertise spanning asset-based lending, real estate finance and acquisition finance, and the team often advises on cross-border mandates. It advised NFFC Group Holdings and Fawaz Al-Hasawi on the sale of Nottingham Forest Football Club to NF Football Investments and advised RBS on the funding and intercreditor arrangements for the development of a residential tower block with commercial units in Salford, Greater Manchester. The team also advised new client Allied Irish Banks which, along with H2 Private Equity, funded the acquisition of Northern Ireland-based company, BA Kitchen Components. Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank and Clydesdale Bank are also clients. The ‘very personable’ Claire Shepherd is active across property finance, asset-based lending, acquisition finance, project finance, restructuring and general corporate lending work, while real estate finance expert Debra Cooper is ‘always responsive’ and ‘works phenomenally hard’ for the client, and Matthew Ingram is active across acquisition and leveraged finance, real estate finance, asset-based lending, restructuring and refinancing transactions, and often handles cross-border work. Director Graham Ball is also noted.
