The Liquidity Imperative: Opportunity and Risk in Next-Generation Collateral Enhancement

In today's mid-market, collateral is a dynamic, actively managed asset that can generate liquidity, reduce funding costs, unlock liability management options, and — in the wrong hands — erode a creditor's recovery without a single covenant being breached. Collateral enhancement has become a strategic imperative for borrowers, lenders, and specialty finance providers alike. It has also become a restructuring tool of the first order — one that skilled debt advisers and lawyers are increasingly deploying to shape outcomes that would previously have required formal insolvency proceedings. ...

Representative Matters

  • Advising an asset-based lender (lead arranger) in a syndicated transaction, the first major FILO facility in the European asset-based markets providing up to £265 million in financing to British Steel.
  • Advising an asset-based lender in relation to providing facilities pursuant to four acquisitions creating the largest independent timber distribution company in the United Kingdom.
  • Advising an asset-based lender with the finance of two sponsor- led cross-border acquisition finance transactions in relation to a group of health care and pharmaceutical companies.
  • Client secondment at an international bank.
