Rapid execution of secured multi-million investment across multiple entities

Complex Law acted for our client in connection with a time critical, multi million investment facility that required execution within 7 days. The transaction involved multiple parties and moving parts, including a funding facility and a connected security package spanning corporate assets and shares.

The client’s objective

Our client needed to secure investment funding on an accelerated timetable to support ongoing business activity and related projects. The transaction required not only negotiating and finalising the funding terms, but also ensuring the client’s governance approvals and supporting arrangements were aligned and properly documented.

Key challenges

• Compressed timetable: end-to-end execution required within 7 days, leaving little margin for iterative drafting and approvals.
• Complex structure: multiple entities were involved, including the operating company and a related entity providing security and support.
• Document-heavy execution: the transaction required a suite of documents to be reviewed, revised and aligned, including (amongst others) a facility agreement, an all-asset security deed, and a charge over shares.
• Governance and conflicts: director interests and voting considerations needed to be handled correctly and recorded, alongside member approvals and related filings.

What Complex Law did

Complex Law played a pivotal role in coordinating and progressing all moving parts to meet the deadline, including:

1. Rapid document review and issue-spotting
   We reviewed the full transaction suite and identified priority points for negotiation and alignment between the facility terms and security package.
2. Coordinated multi-party drafting and consistent revisions
   We managed successive drafting iterations across multiple documents to ensure consistency of definitions, obligations, security scope and execution mechanics—reducing rework and avoiding last-minute misalignment.
3. Governance, approvals and execution readiness
   We supported the client with board-level approvals and execution authority, ensuring the transaction could be signed correctly (including where documents required execution as deeds), and that member approvals and post-completion steps were addressed.

Deliverables

• Review and progression of the Facility Agreement.
• Review and coordination of the security suite, including an All Asset Security Deed and Charge Over Shares.
• Support on related ancillary documentation (including amendments/restatements and side letters) to ensure the overall package operated coherently.
• Assistance with corporate approvals, resolutions and filing requirements (including Companies House filing steps within the applicable timeframe).

Outcome

Despite the accelerated timetable and the complexity of multiple entities and interdependent documents, Complex Law helped the client move from review to execution readiness within the required timeframe, enabling the transaction to proceed with appropriate governance, authority and supporting documentation in place.

Why this matters

This matter demonstrates Complex Law’s capability to deliver under pressure—balancing speed with rigor, and coordinating complex, multi-document transactions where consistent drafting, approvals and execution mechanics are critical to success.
