How we work
Our methodology for this service
Guarantee analysis and adequacy assessment
We assess the type of security — mortgage, pledge, bank guarantee, surety — its subject matter, the legal status of the encumbered asset and its adequacy to cover the secured obligation, identifying potential contingencies.
Creation and formalisation of the security
We prepare the security creation documentation with technical rigour, manage its notarial formalisation and the corresponding registry registration to give it full effect against third parties.
Monitoring during the life of the credit
We advise on modifications, novations, extensions or substitutions of security arising during the life of the credit, ensuring coverage is maintained at all times.
Enforcement of the security
When the secured credit is unpaid, we manage enforcement of the security through the most efficient route, whether mortgage enforcement, extrajudicial sale or pledge realisation.
Who this is for
Banks creating and managing security interests in the context of financing transactions, and companies granting or receiving bank guarantees in commercial transactions or public tenders.
