Banking & Finance

At Wilberforce Chambers, we are recognised for our modern approach to problem solving and dispute resolution. This means not just knowing the right answers and providing strong advocacy, but going the extra mile to alleviate the pressure on our clients. And for that you must combine a strong knowledge of the law with a broad understanding of your sector.

This is particularly crucial in a complex area like banking and finance. Here our barristers offer a potent mix of intellectual excellence and sector expertise. This enables us to give advice and to develop strategies that reflect not only the legal issues but also the practical and commercial aspects of the case. Perhaps that's why leading independent researchers, The Legal 500, have remarked on our "growing banking capability", praising the "intellectual skills" of our QCs and our "extremely good" juniors.

Typical work includes:

• Loan agreements
• Mortgages and charges
• Guarantees
• Other forms of security, such as bills of sale
• Retail banking
• Consumer credit
• Syndicated lending
• Asset and project finance
• Asset tracing, preservation and recovery
• Insolvency-related issues
• Professional negligence claims against advisors to lenders

Our members act for lenders, borrowers, mortgagors, guarantors and other providers of security, and receivers, as well as their professional advisors, while work ranges from advice on large international transactions and disputes involving hundreds of millions of pounds, down to domestic mortgage actions and consumer credit disputes.
