The 'responsive' team at Shoosmiths LLP provides 'high-quality' advice to a creditor-focused client base across a range of ABL solutions to borrowers in the domestic market. Under the leadership of the 'outstanding' Jon Bew, the Birmingham-based transactional team has established particularly strong traction in relation to bilateral mid-market mandates, where clients benefit from its deep familiarity with documentation, enabling it to provide a 'very efficient and cost-effective' service on multiple ongoing mandates. Bew is aided by Natalie Barnes, 'who works well with the counterparty advisers' to ensure that deals progress in a timely and pragmatic fashion. On the non-contentious front, lender clients benefit from the expertise of London-based Andrew Bowden-Brown, who is able to assist on security and enforcement issues, including as these relate to fraud, asset tracing and debt recovery.
