Our new flagship event, FutureLend 2024, is intended to empower and inspire young lenders and bankers with a shared passion for finance.

Offering a fantastic opportunity to network with senior industry professionals and to explore topics ranging from new technologies and innovations to diversity in the finance industry, FutureLend 2024 will help you to plan and develop your career.

Bringing together thought-leaders from across the sector, our 2024 Real Estate Finance Conference will delve into the key issues surrounding real estate finance and the built environment.

It is aimed at lenders, investors, developers, owners and advisors who want to learn, network and stay ahead in this dynamic and rapidly evolving market.

On 8 April 2024, we published an updated version of our RFR destination table.

The document has been revised in accordance with member feedback. As a result, it has been split into two destination tables:

(i) A new table has been added which is divided by currency / RFR – this allows members to more easily locate the documents which are relevant for a particular currency / RFR;

(ii) The existing table which is divided by sector to show the RFR equivalent (or most close equivalent) to a previously LIBOR-referencing LMA document.

The updated destination tables are intended to make our RFR documentation more easily accessible to members.  

On 14 March 2024, we responded to ESMA’s Consultation Paper on Securitisation Disclosure Templates.

Our recommendation would be for a pragmatic approach provided for in Option C which is to develop a simplified template for private securitisations and streamline annexes in the current disclosure framework in the short term, followed by the longer-term solution in Option D which involves a full overhaul of the templates. 

We are pleased to announce publication of revised Schuldschein Loan Agreements in German and English language.

As with the original versions, the revised LMA Schuldschein Loan Agreements are available in German and English language for both single borrower and single borrower with guarantor transaction structures. 

The revisions have been considered and agreed by members of the original working party and reflect changes in law, feedback received from market participants since 2018, developments in relation to reference rate fall-back provisions and aligning the security over lenders’ rights clause to the relevant clause provided for in the German law precedent for syndicated facilities. 

On 20 March 2024, our privacy notice was updated on account of changes in connection with our new Horizons publication.
