"Speed, flexibility and responsiveness make us the UK's leading process agent and the long established Law Debenture team looks forward to working closely with Linklaters to ensure a smooth transition of the business. This transaction is symbolically significant to our group and further strengthens our important relationship with Linklaters and we see potential for even closer collaboration in the future."
