Led out of Cardiff but regularly working as part of a cohesive nationwide team alongside its growing London office, Acuity Law is best known for its work for funders and borrowers in relation to commercial real estate projects. Christopher Agius has, over many years in practice, developed strong ties with lenders, regularly advising them on the funding arrangements on new money deals, as well as in an insolvency setting with regard to “bad book” arrangements. Stephen Morris also regularly handles financing work as part of his broad real estate practice, while the ‘very client-focused’ Beverley Jones is the key contact for more general corporate lending matters.
