Burges Salmon LLP

With a strong presence in Bristol and London, Burges Salmon LLP‘s versatile banking and finance team has the strength-in-depth and product knowledge to handle a significant volume of mid to upper-mid market debt finance transactions for lenders and borrowers. Energy, real estate and transport-related transactions remain a strength, with Graham Soar and Rachael Ruane recently advising longstanding client, British multinational transport group FirstGroup plc, on the financing of two interconnected projects involving up to 1,000 electric buses, with a combined debt size exceeding £200m (one of which was documented as a green loan). Andrew Eaton heads the team.
