Many legal aspects play a role in the financing of companies. If you provide financing, you want the securities to be properly vested and the risks covered. If you are applying for (re)financing, a well-written, airtight contract and documentation will protect you and your business. Wijn & Stael attorneys have experience with all aspects of financing and securities, with proven track record in providing reliable counsel to companies, banking institutions and leasing companies in complex financing issues and disputes.
