Bermans’ substantial factoring law and asset based finance team includes some of the industry’s leading lawyers, who have helped to shape the UK law of factoring as it exists today.
Solicitors Bernard Barrett and Peter Sinnett in particular have industry recognised reputations in this field. They have drafted many industry standard documents and regularly give training courses to the Asset Based Finance Association ("ABFA") and its members.We are founder affiliates of the ABFA. We are also main sponsors of its educational foundation, and provide regular seminars and training in factoring law through them. Through our contacts with the ABFA we are in regular touch with current trends, enabling us to give up to date advice on current specific issues.
We have provided guidance to the UK industry since its birth. In doing so our team has developed a deep and meaningful knowledge of how the law can be most beneficially applied.
This knowledge, with the consistency of our approach to the issues arising from the expansion of asset based lending, and our experience in conducting litigation on behalf of industry members, gives Bermans an unrivalled position as the leaders in the provision of legal services to the industry.
Unlike any other law firm, our range of knowledge and skill is in the hands of the many, not the few. Specialist industry competence exists in many individuals, whether working on collections, insolvency, documentation or even employment.
