Banking & Finance Law

Banking and finance transactions demand precision and a clear understanding of market standards. At Aria Grace Law CIC, our lawyers combine technical expertise with practical insight gained from senior roles in investment banks. This experience allows us to anticipate challenges and advise on documentation, compliance and risk management across complex financial arrangements. Our goal is to help clients structure transactions that are robust, efficient and aligned with regulatory requirements.

We work with borrowers, lenders, trustees, arrangers and investors on a wide range of financing matters. Our advice covers bilateral and syndicated lending, trading documentation and collateral arrangements, as well as regulatory issues affecting financial institutions. With expertise in market-standard agreements such as the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement and Loan Market Association (LMA) documentation, we ensure that your documentation is accurate, enforceable, and tailored to your commercial objectives.

Beyond transactional support, we assist clients with regulatory challenges, including Brexit-related restrictions, trading venue obligations and benchmark reform. Our lawyers have advised major banks on London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) transition and negotiated amendments to derivatives and loan agreements. We aim to provide clarity in a complex regulatory environment, helping businesses manage risk and maintain compliance while adapting to evolving market conditions.

How we do things differently

1. A model built on fairness

We operate as a Community Interest Company, meaning our profits don’t line shareholders’ pockets, they fund social impact. When you work with us, you’re choosing a legal partner that reinvests in education, environmental justice and grassroots initiatives. It’s law with purpose, designed to create value beyond the transaction.

2. Experienced lawyers, not billable quotas

Our lawyers keep 90% of fees, attracting senior talent from magic circle and elite firms. This means you work with experts who prioritise quality and outcomes, not billable-hour targets. Every piece of advice reflects decades of experience and a commitment to doing law differently.

3. Transparent pricing, no surprises

We believe in clarity – not just in contracts, but in costs. Our pricing is modular and transparent, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden extras, no unexpected charges, just fair, predictable fees.

4. Advice that works in practice

Legal advice should empower, not confuse. We deliver solutions that are practical, actionable and aligned with your business goals. Whether you need a single agreement or a suite of contracts, our focus is on clarity, efficiency and measurable impact.

We were introduced to Aria Grace Law and partner Nick Bent for commercial legal support. Nick has done great work for us in developing our contract templates, including those for resellers and customers, and supporting us on client matters, providing us with valued legal insight and first-class documents. We look forward to working with Aria Grace Law and Nick in future on other projects.

Puja and her team are exceptional. Puja is very generous with her advice and guidance. She made sure I understand the risks and walked me me through the proposed amends to the agreement that we worked on. From the costs point of view, she stayed within our budget and delivered ahead of deadline. I appreciate Puja’s professionalism, enthusiasm and warmth and looking forward to working with her and her team at Aria Grace Law again.

Thanks Lindsay Healy - Aria Grace Law CIC! I always look forward to working with you on the next crazy stage of our Send journey. It is a pleasure working with you and everyone at AGL.

Ben Huckel
Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Send Technology

It's been great to work with Puja and Aria Grace Law. Extremely diligent, skillful and easy to work with. Puja is also extremely reactive. She understands the business aspects of the contractual relationship and adapts her work according to the context. Aria Grace Law CIC is a community interest company, they give all of their profits to charity. I highly recommend working with them and with their community of lawyers for any commercial contracts.

Philippe Poggianti
Founder, Poggianti Insights

Having run my busy practice for 10 years, I struggled to find a consultancy law firm that really offered the autonomy that they promised…until I found Aria Grace Law CIC. AGL gave me the peace of mind to move my busy practice over and to continue my independent journey in the legal profession. It was very much about what the law firm can do for me to enable me to look after my clients whilst continuing to grow.

Susanne Cheung
Partner, Aria Grace Law CIC

We were delighted with our choice of M&A advisors for this very significant transaction. Aria Grace spent their time understanding our business and handled the complex matters with great ease and efficiency. Louise Wolfson and Jeff Durkin and Elena Cooper were a wonderful team led by relationship partner and CEO Lindsay Healy, we felt very well taken care of throughout. I personally could not imagine a better partner and would not hesitate to choose this team again.

John Harkin
CEO, Alchemy Technology Services Limited

NVOY Technologies are the type of business which all companies should use. IT security is paramount to success and the solutions they offer are fantastic for business of all sizes and stages of growth. We were delighted to be able to support them and look forward to continuing the relationship well into the future.

We are 1000% happy with Aria Grace Law.

Claire Altman

I was introduced to Puja in the comments section of a partner's contract. It was rare to see such fair and balanced feedback and it clearly reflected the values of the brand we were working with. We were so intrigued we reached out to Puja to support Journey Further and we've been very impressed with the level of support, quality of service and quick turnaround provided. Thanks Puja and team.

Will Anderson

Puja and the Aria Grace team have been exceptional in helping us with our Legal function at SaaSLeads. They are our trusted advisors for all things Legal. Being a founder of a fast-growing business the need for legal support becomes paramount and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

As well as being ethical, Lindsay and his team at Aria Grace Law are also amazing. I can't recommend them highly enough for corporate legal advice.

Puja and the Aria Grace Law team have been supporting Kyckr for over 18 months and have been fantastic partners to us. Puja understands our business and listens to what we want to achieve and helps us to put the legal framework in place. Her legal advice is consistently clear and pragmatic whether it be it be in respect of commercial, employment or compliance matters. She is diligent and provides her input quickly and has a real appreciation for Kyckr's software. I have no hesitation in recommending Puja as a lawyer.

Ian Henderson
Chief Executive Officer, Kyckr

Aria Grace Law are very efficient business lawyers who have helped our company on getting ready for the GDPR legislation and also reviewed some of our technology contracts – they provide a high quality, responsive service. They were able to ask me all the right questions and get a clear understanding of our business. They recommended the next steps that will help address compliance with the new legislation and improvements to our currents framework solutions. I will definitely use them again.

Paola Cavallin
General Counsel, Plextek

Aria Grace Law supported us on ensuring our European E-commerce site policies were compliant, and fairly protecting the consumer and us as a business. What stood out to me was how both the legal process, and terminology, was broken down into a dialogue that made the information attainable and useable – it was like learning from your favourite teacher! I think the ethical approach is wonderful, the transparent simple pricing commercially sensible and effective, and all members of the team I have come across I have been very happy working with. I will certainly be recommending the firm to other businesses.

Tim Pluess
Head of International & E-commerce Sales, Mibelle Group Brands

Working with Puja has been a real pleasure. She’s been able to provide exceptional advice, always with a commercial mindset which is super important, and she genuinely feels like an extension of my team.

Nirav Karia
Group Chief Operating Officer, Curation Corporation Limited

Puja is that kind of person you call when you need things to be done quickly as well as professionally as well as personally! I got to work with her as our legal counsel with SDRs of Germany and she has been an absolute game changer! The way she works is not only on point but she also take the time to understand your businesses objectives as well as struggles to make sure she finds the best way of supporting you! 120% I would recommend her again!

Helena Klaus
Co-Founder, SDRs of Germany

Excellence begins long before the outcome. It begins with a determination to aim and achieve higher. The choice to act when what lies ahead carries exceptional promise. For me, that is unquestionably what AGL embodies. It is the rare opportunity to join a firm where expectations are elevated and the pace is set by those who lead, not follow. It is the freedom to operate in a space where only worthwhile opportunities stand out, rare moments lift and inspire you, giving you the room to advance on your own terms.

Fortune favours those who seize moments like this and with every step I have taken at AGL, I have been reminded exactly why it was the right decision for me.

Karim Assaad
Partner, Aria Grace Law CIC

We started using Aria Grace Law, after they were recommended to us by another high-growth VC-backed business. Their ethos resonated and their fee structure was super compelling, so we engaged them to support us through a broad GDPR compliance programme. The whole team loved working with Puja on this - from both a professional and interpersonal perspective. I've been impressed with the pragmatic and commercially-sensitive approach that flowed through everything she did; as well as the high quality of the output. We have since expanded the scope of work that we do with Aria Grace to include employment law and commercial contracts...and now turn to them first for almost any legal advice! I can't recommend Aria Grace highly enough.

Paul Aziz
Vice President of Operations, Splend

It is genuinely refreshing to join such a collaborative firm where everyone is generous with their time, the model puts clients and lawyers first, and all net profits go to charity. The culture is kind, the standards are high and the impact is real.
