Our experienced real estate finance team is one of the largest in Scotland, with particular expertise in cross-border transactions. We have acted in many of the largest and most complex deals in Scotland across all asset classes.

The complexities of real estate finance require nuanced understanding and strategic foresight. We act for real estate finance lenders, borrowers, loan servicers and note holders in relation to real estate related senior and mezzanine investment and development debt, secured and structured finance, corporate finance in relation to real estate owning groups and companies, Scottish and cross-border insolvency matters, loan sales, distressed loans and assets, loan restructuring and enforcement (particularly in the context of CMBS and RMBS transactions) and the preparation of standard form documentation. 

We work with clients across a wide range of sectors including residential property, student accommodation, retail, industrial, leisure and hotels, offices and mixed-use developments. We go beyond just legal services, working with you in close partnership, and can leverage complementary expertise from all our highly-regarded real estate, construction, planning, litigation, corporate and insolvency & restructuring teams. 
The team is very responsive and efficient, with a high level of professional advice.
