Helen Griffiths
My role within the team is one that enables, advises and mitigates legal risk for both our clients and Investec. Using my experience from state practice, I’m responsible for structuring, negotiating and managing deals across multiple business models and different jurisdictions.
My participation in the initial structuring of deals and the guidance that I add as they progress through the credit and documentation stages, allows the team to provide a streamlined service for clients, providing them with holistic and seamless financing solutions.
Clients can benefit from working with a team that has an experienced, involved and innovative embedded legal team. This helps to ensure that deals are run efficiently by skilled, solution driven people.
By working on transactions from the outset, I have a good understanding of our clients’ needs and their broader market challenges. This ensures that I can provide relevant legal advice and input that’s appropriate throughout our commercial relationship.
I am a point of contact for our clients and can help with queries they may have from a legal and deal management perspective.
