Law firm Macfarlanes has advised Haymarket Financial, the new corporate lender, on its fundraising with Australia’s Future Fund.
Macfarlanes provided an integrated team for HayFin advising on specialist fundraising, corporate and tax structuring.
Stephen Sims, a funds partner who led the Macfarlanes team, says: “We are delighted to work closely with HayFin on their fundraising activities. With lending by banks less accessible in current market conditions, there is significant interest in the provision of debt by private financiers and we expect this sector to grow. We look forward to undertaking more of these challenging cross-border transactions.”
The HayFin instruction follows on from Macfarlanes’ previous work advising the management team of HayFin, led by Tim Flynn, its chief executive, on its establishment last year with the backing of key sponsor TowerBrook. Macfarlanes also advises HayFin on investment work.
Haymarket Financial is an independent finance company offering lending products to corporate clients and asset management services to institutional clients.
