Advances
Recovery informed support, up-front

Front end decisions can determine enforcement outcomes

Small issues in documentation, security or registration can materially affect enforcement options later.
Because our team works extensively in recovery and litigation, we understand where lending structures can commonly break down – and where risk could be mitigated at the outset.
This recovery informed perspective shapes how we approach every advance.
We support lenders and capital providers from instruction through to settlement, ensuring lending arrangements are structured clearly, consistently and with enforceability in mind.
Lending Due Diligence
Structured due diligence reviews that assess borrower, security and transaction risk. Our process identifies issues early and supports considered lender decisions before funds are advanced.
Loan Documentation
Preparation of lending and security documentation shaped by enforcement and recovery experience. Documents are drafted with clarity, consistency and practical operation in mind.
Security Structuring
Advice on security packages, priorities and supporting arrangements, including mortgages, caveats and personal property securities. We focus on structure, interaction and enforceability.
Settlement & Registration
Management of settlement for purchase, refinance and cash out transactions, alongside preparation and registration of security interests to support lender positions.
