Independent legal advice on a personal guarantee, debenture, or lender document. Often required by banks and lenders before they will accept a guarantee. Single person, single document.
What’s included:
• Review of the document on which you need independent legal advice.
• A meeting or call to explain the document, its effect, and the risks to you.
• A signed ILA certificate confirming that you have received independent legal advice.
• Suitable for personal guarantees, debentures, charges over personal assets, and similar lender documents.
What’s not included:
• Negotiation with the lender.
• Advice on multiple documents or for additional persons (£295 per additional person or document).
• Tax advice (including VAT, corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax, and stamp duty). If specialist tax advice is needed, I can recommend a suitable accountant or tax adviser.
FAQ
Q: Why do I need independent legal advice?
A: Lenders typically require that anyone giving a personal guarantee or other security has received independent legal advice from a solicitor. This protects both you (by ensuring you understand what you are signing) and the lender (by reducing the risk that the guarantee could be challenged later).
