Windt Le Grand Leeuwenburgh Advocaten

Financiering en zekerheden

Wij adviseren en begeleiden cliënten bij het structureren en het documenteren van financieringstransacties. Dit betreft nieuwe financieringen en herfinancieringen; al dan niet in het kader van een herstructurering. Wij zijn betrokken bij transacties in nationale en internationale context, waarbij wij optreden voor financiers en kredietnemers. Ons team heeft ruime ervaring in een breed spectrum van financieringsvormen, onder meer aandeelhoudersleningen, bedrijfsfinancieringen, acquisitiefinancieringen, vastgoedfinancieringen en projectfinancieringen. 

Ook adviseren en procederen wij met regelmaat over geschillen op het gebied van financieringen en zekerheden.

Onze advocaten hebben veelal een achtergrond bij grote (internationale) kantoren en financiële instellingen. Door de kennis en ervaring die zij daar hebben opgedaan, kunnen zij echt het verschil maken voor onze cliënten, binnen de laagdrempelige en cliënt gerichte aanpak van ons kantoor. Of dat nu het bewerkstelligen van een lastige herfinanciering betreft of het uitprocederen van een kwestie over de uitwinning van een pandrecht.
