‘The team at H&J that deals with corporate matters for us is very qualified to do so. By reason of our complex financing agreements, we have been fortunate to still retain H&J as they were our counsel when we entered these agreements, so the continuity of services has been very beneficial.’
‘Zarina Fitzgerald is lead partner on all of our financing matters and has been zealous in her review of our matters, engagement and communication with our lenders. She is very ably assisted by Andre Hill. They are both well-versed in local and international financing laws and successfully guided us through a waiver of restrictive financing covenants during the pandemic, as an example of quality client service. Zarina's history with our financing and refinancing is a tremendous benefit.’
