FAQs on assignments in finance transactions
2023-02-20

This note aims to provide brief and practical answers to common questions on the law of assignment in English law finance transactions.

2023-02-21

Here’s a hard-knocks rule:

The Register of Overseas Entities From a Restructuring and Insolvency (R&I) Perspective
2023-01-09

This guide should not be relied on as a definitive guide to the legislation and should not be relied on as legal advice. The particular circumstances of any situation will need to be considered to determine if the overseas entity is one that is captured by the legislation, if the estate is a qualifying estate, and whether the beneficial owners need to be registered. As a result, this guide is intended only as a high-level overview.

This guide covers the position of property and land situated in England and Wales only.
