As well as securing strong core banking relationships, the team continues to be active in the private credit market, with Richard Normington adept across a range of financing structures in the space and the ‘attentive’ Charlotte Lewis-Williams adding further credibility to the team following her arrival in September 2023 from Pricoa Private Capital. On the borrower front, the ‘very knowledgeable’ Mark Dwyer and the ‘well-connected’ Mei Mei Wong are particularly experienced in advising corporates on the financing to facilitate their M&A activity. Neil Campbell is active on the creditor and debtor front in relation to sponsor-backed deals and is another key member of the team that is headed by real estate finance expert Toby Barker.
