Laurence Rogers

Laurence brings over 25 years of experience covering all aspects of finance, with a particular focus on real estate finance and borrowing base facilities. He acts for lenders and borrowers (both on conventional financing and Islamic financing), covering all aspects of the capital stack (senior, mezzanine and preferred equity) and all asset classes.

His practice is both on deals in the United Kingdom and overseas, including handling complex multi-jurisdictional cross-border deals.

Given Laurence’s depth of contacts in the industry, clients often come to him to help source potential buyers or lenders on deals or for deal introductions to the wider market. He focuses on the business needs and main objectives a client may have and, as a result, is often viewed as a trusted advisor for that client’s wider business needs.
