Loan Structuring and Term Sheet Review
Yuen Law's banking lawyers advise corporate borrowers on the structuring of loans and other debt financing transactions, working through facility structures, covenants, conditions precedent and drawdown mechanics. Before a facility is finalised, the team reviews term sheets and financing proposals from the borrower's side, flagging onerous covenants and cross-default provisions, and negotiates amendments where needed.
Acquisition Finance
Where a transaction is funded in part by debt, Yuen Law structures the financing side of a takeover or acquisition within the same Corporate Practice handling the deal, coordinating facility documentation with the underlying sale and purchase agreement so both work together on completion.
Asset and Asset-Backed Financing
The team advises corporate borrowers raising finance against business assets, equipment or receivables, structuring the arrangement and the underlying security to reflect the value and risk profile of the assets involved.
Security Documentation
Yuen Law drafts and reviews the full range of security documents a borrower is asked to give in support of a facility, including debentures, assignments, charges, deeds of subordination, guarantees and indemnities, and handles the registration of charges with ACRA to ensure security interests are properly perfected within the statutory timeframe.
