Helen Fysh
Helen is a Partner and the Head of our banking and finance team, and is based in our London office.
Helen advises lenders and borrowers on all facets of real estate finance, including operating real estate and acquisition finance. She advises lenders on the preparation of bank standard form documentation alongside the preparation of policies and procedures (including the incorporation of technology and AI into their processes) for legal risk management.
Helen has experience working across a range of sectors including healthcare, PBSA, build to rent, logistics and mixed-use developments. She acts for borrowers investing via onshore and offshore structures, and for both senior and mezzanine lenders providing conventional and Islamic finance.
Clients value Helen's ability to project manage and coordinate with multiple stakeholders, exemplified by her recent experience advising Ahli United Bank (now KFH plc) on its conversion from a conventional bank to a fully compliant Islamic bank, coordinating with risk, credit, legal and RM stakeholders within the bank alongside the Trowers team of Real Estate, Corporate, Dispute Resolution and Tax experts across the UK, Oman and Kuala Lumpur offices.
"Helen Fysh is great at coaching clients to keep their eye on the big picture and not get lost in the minutiae of detail that the lawyers are there to look after"
