Private Credit Transactions covers the drafting, negotiation and enforcement of lending facilities between borrowers and lenders, including term sheets, facility agreements, debentures and charges, security packages, and intercreditor arrangements. A solicitor in this area checks due diligence, organises security perfection, coordinates disclosures, and negotiates covenants, waivers and amendments. They may advise on refinancing steps, enforcement options on default, and compliance with regulatory or financial crime requirements that affect private credit markets.
