LMA recommended documentation

Members have use of an extensive library of recommended form documentation for both the primary and secondary syndicated loan markets, as well as user guides and commentary on market practice and procedures.

Participation in LMA working parties

Volunteers from the market have an essential role to play in ensuring that the LMA addresses issues of genuine relevance to the syndicated loan market throughout EMEA. As part of this process, from time to time, we establish both committees and working parties.  These are formed to facilitate the production of new recommended forms of documentation, to assist with lobbying activities or to discuss any other pertinent issues impacting the loan market.  LMA members are eligible, by invitation, to join any committee and/or working party set up by us and will be contacted directly should such an opportunity arise.

Access to member's section of the LMA website

This area provides a wealth of valuable information to market practitioners, including LMA recommended form documentation, legal and regulatory news, regulatory submissions, monthly updates on LMA activity, the LMA's bi-annual newsletter and presentations from UK and overseas education and training events.

LMA's Education & Events Programme

As the industry's official trade body, we are the ideal training provider for what is an increasingly technical market.
