Banking team praised by Chambers 2021

The banking team at Sintons has again been confirmed as one of the leading specialists of its kind by the Chambers and Partners UK Guide 2021, which praises its expertise and “strong reputation”.

The team, which acts for lenders and borrowers across the region, is hailed for its work in banking and finance, as well as real estate acquisition finance matters.

Its wide client base, comprising banking, retail and hospitality businesses, is also hailed as an asset, alongside its ability to “communicate clearly and regularly deliver what it sets out to achieve”.

Head of banking Jane Meikle is also praised as being a leader in her field, with significant experience of advising clients on real estate finance, refinancing and corporate finance.

Chambers hails her ability to “cut through complexity by keeping it simple. She also has consistently good speed of response and stakeholder management, and interacts well with other lawyers in the transaction”.

The rankings from Chambers 2021 build on the findings of the recently-released Legal 500 Guide 2021, which similarly hailed Sintons’ banking specialists for their high levels of capability, particularly in handling complex transactions.

Christopher Welch, managing partner of Sintons, said: “Our banking and finance team is known as being one of the strongest and most capable in the region and beyond, with a strong array of clients who trust Jane and her team to act on their behalf and complete their transactions on both a regional and national basis.

“We are very pleased with this latest independent recognition from Chambers 2021, particularly so soon after similar high ratings from the Legal 500, and confirms that we are delivering on our commitment to offer and outstanding legal and personal service to every client in every matter.”
