Joanne Canning > Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP > Cardiff, Wales > Lawyer Profile

Under the leadership of the ‘commercial and pragmatic‘ Joanne Canning , Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP has cultivated very strong relationships with a range of lenders including traditional clearing banks, as well as alternative capital providers. The scope of the work is broad and includes new money mandates, as well as refinancings and traverses through the capital structure. Property finance is a particular strength with the firm handling mandates throughout the UK including a recent complex lender-side engagement to fund the acquisition and development of a purpose built student accommodation project in Scotland. Senior associate Melissa Hellio has gained an excellent lender-side perspective as a result of several bank secondments during her time at the firm, experiences which she deploys to good effect in relation to both real estate and corporate lending transactions.
