Pinsent Masons LLP

Sitting within the finance and structured finance department, the predominantly Birmingham-based Pinsent Masons LLP’s asset-based lending team is well positioned to advise on a range of products, from bilateral and syndicated ABL facilities to non-recourse receivables purchase facilities. Edward Sunderland oversees the team and has particularly strong relationships with clearing banks, challenger funders and large corporate borrowers. Victoria Baker garners plaudits for her ‘extensive knowledge of ABL’, including back-to-back funding and when it sits alongside leveraged finance. Manchester-based Adam Patel is another name to note, supporting the team on the full gamut of deals.
