Wil Alam

Wil Alam is an Associate in the Finance & Financial Regulations team based in London. His primary practice area is Banking and Finance Law.

Qualified in Australia and now based in the United Kingdom, he is a finance solicitor with broad transactional experience spanning corporate finance, acquisition finance, leveraged finance and general finance transactions. Drawing on experience developed across two of the world's leading common law jurisdictions, he brings a commercially astute and internationally minded perspective to every matter.

His experience focuses on advising lenders and borrowers on complex, high-value financing transactions across a range of sectors. On the lender side, he regularly acts for global and regional financial institutions, including Australia's Big Four banks, as well as private credit and alternative lenders active in both the UK and cross-border markets. On the borrower side, he advises domestic and international corporates navigating acquisition financings, refinancings and bespoke lending arrangements.

His core areas of expertise include corporate and general finance (revolving credit facilities, term loans and multi-jurisdictional financing structures); acquisition finance (acting for lenders and borrowers in connection with the financing of M&A transactions, from mid-market deals to large-cap acquisitions); leveraged finance (sponsor-backed transactions, including senior secured, unitranche and other leveraged lending structures across private equity deal cycles); and real estate finance (primarily in the Australian market, with increasing experience on UK real estate transactions).

With a transactional background spanning Australian and English law, he is well placed to assist clients operating across multiple markets and to provide practical, solutions-focused advice on deals where cross-border considerations are central. He is known for combining technical rigour with a pragmatic, client-focused approach, recognising that the goal of every transaction is not merely legal compliance, but a commercially sound outcome delivered efficiently and with clarity.
