LDC

Our role

Our Direct Lending team is pleased to be providing senior debt facilities on a bilateral basis to support LDC with its investment in Harper James.

Due to our extensive track record of supporting Legal and Professional Services businesses in the UK, we were able to deliver a compelling financing package in a short time frame.

We have a longstanding relationship with LDC, who we are delighted to support again with this transaction, and we look forward to supporting LDC, as well as Founder & CEO, Toby Harper, through the next phase of the company’s growth journey.
