Top 10 of 1,011 law firms for Direct Lending, Banking

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Direct lending work covers agreements for lending money directly to a borrower by a bank or alternative lender, including documentation of facilities, terms, covenants and security. A solicitor drafts, reviews and negotiates loan agreements, guarantees, security documents and related notices; advises on regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering checks, and enforcement options if a borrower defaults; liaises with lenders, borrowers, brokers, and counterparties to progress drawdowns and repayments.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

Direct lending matters involve careful drafting of facility agreements, security packages, intercreditor arrangements, and calls on defaults. A solicitor provides professional accountability, conducts due diligence, ensures proper execution and registration of charges where required, and handles complex enforcement steps if needed, backed by regulated professional standards and client accounts protections.

Our company lent money on bridge finance, Sydney Mitchell we’re fantastic in both dealing with the original agreements and thereafter helping with enforcement of that bridge loan when the deal went sour.

Joseph Lewis

Tagged solicitor Joseph Lewis

Joseph and his team were amazing in completing our purchase. He was professional, knowledgeable and his communication was second to none. We were updated regularly and kept informed throughout. We had difficulty with the vendor and his solicitor and Joseph was able to manage all the issues with minimal stress to me and my husband. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He was absolutely brilliant.

I have used Slater Heelis twice now for property purchases and would recommend them. This time round it was a very long process but Angela Brown was excellent and helped make it as straight forward as possible. Thanks to Angela Brown and Sarah Howson.

Tagged solicitor Kathryn Lofthouse

The Team at Forbes were always available to reply to my queries, quickly answering both e-mails and answering phone calls. There was never a need to leave any answer phone messages. The advice was clear and the whole transaction speedy, despite an unusual Title requirement. Highly recommended and a pleasure to deal with.
