Anil Kumar, Real Estate Partner, is a senior property solicitor with more than 20 years’ experience advising developers, lenders, landowners, and commercial investors on complex real estate matters. His practice spans land development, real estate finance, commercial acquisitions and disposals, and landlord and tenant work, with particular recognition for development finance and strategic land projects involving multi-party negotiation and intricate structuring.
His career background combining roles in international City firms, a specialist property practice, and as head of the lending legal team at a Midlands-based bank, gives him a distinctly commercial and risk-aware perspective. Clients value his ability to deliver clear, pragmatic advice at pace on transactions where timing, structure, and risk allocation are critical.
This blend of technical and commercial expertise is reflected in his continuing role as a key adviser to NEXA Finance on a rolling programme of high-value development finance transactions across England and Wales.
Ongoing Development Finance Mandate
Anil supports NEXA Finance across a diverse pipeline of residential, mixed-use, and commercial development schemes, acting on matters that are central to the lender’s expanding national portfolio. The work involves advising on the full lifecycle of development finance transactions, including:
- Structuring and documenting complex secured lending arrangements.
- Placing various security documentation in place, comprising of legal charges, debentures, personal guarantees, deeds of subordination, intercreditor arrangements, letters of non-crystallisation and collateral warranty documentation.
- Managing multi-party negotiations involving borrowers and other stakeholders.
- Ensuring robust risk management and security positions.
The projects range from ground-up residential developments to substantial refurbishment and conversion schemes, each requiring careful alignment of funding structures with development timetables due diligence and planning considerations.
While individual transaction values remain confidential, the aggregate scale of the programme represents multi-million-pound lending across a geographically and structurally diverse portfolio. The ongoing nature of the instruction reflects NEXA Finance’s confidence in receiving commercially astute, time-critical advice on transactions that underpin its continued growth.
Anil’s work demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the legal and practical issues that arise in development finance, particularly in transactions requiring coordinated input from multiple stakeholders and a proactive approach to risk allocation.
Congratulations to Anil Kumar on continuing to deliver at a high level on a technically demanding and strategically important mandate.
