Corporate Finance and Acquisition Finance
Beresford Legal provides top quality, efficient and independent advice on complex corporate financing transactions, with a special focus on working with SMEs, credit funds and family owned businesses. We structure and document deals across the debt financing spectrum, including corporate finance, agribusiness, property and construction finance, acquisition finance, convertible note issues, pre-IPO financing and debt capital market issues.
Debt Restructuring
We work with participants in stressed situations to restructure and renegotiate debt financing agreements with creditors, new investors and other stakeholders. Our advice is clear and focused on getting results on time and within budget.
Private Debt Markets
Increased regulation of traditional lenders and rapid disintermediation in financial markets provides new opportunities for direct private lending. We work with corporate borrowers accessing private debt as well as funds, family offices and other investors in secured and unsecured corporate debt. We advise on transaction structuring, security and documentation and provide an independent legal risk review service.
Contract Legal Services
We provide a contracting service to financial advisors, other law firms and to companies. We offer:
- advice on financing documentation, transaction structuring, risk management and transaction management
- additional finance law capacity for law firms at times of peak demand
- contracted “in-house” financing expertise for companies
