About the series

Lending rarely involves one bank providing 100 per cent of the financing. In many situations, there are numerous third-party creditors involved in a given transition. With so many stakeholders in play, bankers might have no idea how to legally protect their interest. This series will delve into the "why" and "how" of preparing priority arrangements, all in a language bankers can understand.
