GLAS Australia assumes agency and trustee roles for Slater & Gordon’s finance facilities

Sydney, June 2017

GLAS Australia, the leading independent Agency services provider, has been mandated with key Security Trustee and Facility Agency roles in relation to the finance facilities provided to law firm Slater & Gordon.

Team well positioned

The GLAS team was particularly well positioned to assume these roles given GLAS’s global reach, and will service this transaction with a global team spanning its Australian and UK offices.

Barnaby Webb, Head of GLAS APAC said:

“GLAS Australia is delighted to have assumed these agency and trustee roles. We have put together a global team to provide 24/7 coverage across all relevant jurisdictions. GLAS is looking forward to working closely with Slater & Gordon and the lender group. Special thanks to our key supporters and facilitators on this deal Gilbert + Tobin, Sullivan & Cromwell, and of course Slater & Gordon. A special mention also to Westpac and their counsel Ashurst who helped make this transition a very smooth process”.
