We have published a guidance note on the Register of Overseas Entities (ROE) regime. The ROE regime was established by the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 and came into force in two phases: on 1 August 2022 and 5 September 2022. 

The guidance note covers a range of key issues relating to the ROE regime and its impacts in the real estate finance (REF) context, including drafting for a new condition precedent to be included in LMA REF facility agreements that document deals to which the ROE regime applies.

The LMA is delighted to announce the launch of a new guide to the application of the Sustainability-Linked-Loan Principles (SLLP) in real estate finance (REF) and real estate development finance (the Guide).

The Guide seeks to provide practical sector-specific guidance in relation to the application of the SLLP to REF and real estate development finance sustainability-linked loan transactions, setting out some of the key considerations for borrowers, finance parties and their respective advisors when looking to align any such transactions to the SLLP.
