Legal Advisory

Our current priority is to support our Clients in obtaining financial instruments provided by the “Anti-Crisis Shield”, including loans, credits and guarantees from the Polish National Development Bank (BGK), and in adapting existing loan agreements to the current economic situation.

 

Our client portfolio includes commercial and investment banks, financial institutions, debt instruments market institutions, investment funds, PE / VC funds, public companies and entities needing funding support.

 

We provide support with respect to distressed debt transactions and asset-based lending.

 

Our fields of expertise also include project finance transactions, e.g. receiving syndicated loans. We analyse our Clients’ needs, the type of acquired assets and their market environment, and on this basis we propose a legally adequate financing model.

 

We prepare complete documentation regarding loan agreements, also according to the LMA standards.

 

By choosing right collateral types and their appropriate structuring and implementation, we safeguard legal interests of financing entities.

 

Our law firm provides legal support for financing projects concerning acquisitions of real estate (office buildings, logistic parks, shopping centres). We also support our Clients in asset refinancing deals.

 

Clients may also rely on our expertise in terms of issuing debt instruments, including bonds (e.g. corporate, convertible or revenue (income) bonds and pre-emptive bonds).

 

We help our Clients to receive private funding (equity/debt financing), e.g. in the form of mezzanine financing or using hybrid instruments.

 

We provide legal services in the regulatory area (concerning e.g. implementation of obligations determined by the EU law, particularly by the relevant Directives and Regulations).
