CLIENT SUCCESS
Our clients trust Chapel Street for decisive advice that delivers real results
Chapel Street guided us through a complex £45 million acquisition of a UK fintech company, managing regulatory approvals with the FCA whilst ensuring seamless integration. Their understanding of both commercial and regulatory aspects was invaluable. The team's ability to anticipate challenges and provide practical solutions kept the deal on track despite significant regulatory scrutiny.Robert Egger
Chief Executive, Meridian Financial Group
When we needed to restructure our lending arrangements across multiple jurisdictions following a covenant breach, Chapel Street's team coordinated everything flawlessly. They negotiated with six different lenders, secured additional working capital facilities, and turned a potentially difficult situation into a strategic opportunity for growth. Their commercial awareness made all the difference.Laura Dern
