The portfolio consists of approximately 1,000 residential and commercial mortgages.
Through the unique depth and breadth of its combined financial services and M&A practices, Clifford Chance was able to assist on all legal and regulatory aspects of the transaction (including in relation to the relevant regulatory approvals).
The Clifford Chance team was led by partner Deniz Tas and counsel Jack Hardman, with support from associates James Dadford and Tammie Le. The team also included partners Mike Taylor and Nicola Reader, and senior associates Gareth Dray and Rizwan Butt.
