Walkers advise Suntera on multi-jurisdiction secured senior financing package from Carlyle

Jun 5, 2025

Our work
A man in a business suit signing a legal contract.

Our Banking & Finance and Regulatory & Risk teams have advised Suntera Global (Suntera) in connection with a secured senior financing package from global investment firm Carlyle.

We acted as Jersey, Guernsey, Cayman and BVI counsel (alongside lead counsel King and Spalding) for Suntera, an independent provider of bespoke fund, corporate and private wealth services.
  
Our Jersey team, which advised on the Jersey law elements of the transaction, was led by partner Julia Keppe and included senior counsels Melissa Hellio and Gemma Palmer and senior associate Timur Ochkhaev.

Our Guernsey team, which advised on the Guernsey law elements of the transaction, was led by group partner Zoë Hallam and included partner Chris Hutley-Hurst and associate Rob White.

Our London team, which advised on the Cayman and BVI law aspects of the transaction, was led by partner Mark Galazzi with senior counsel Alexandra Simpson, associate Kelly Reed and senior paralegal Colin Girgenti, together with Cayman-based partner Colm Dawson and senior counsel Callum Wright.

Commenting on the transaction, Julia Keppe said: "We are absolutely delighted to have advised Suntera on this matter, working closely with our instructing counsel at King and Spalding, as well as collaborating closely with our Guernsey, London and Cayman colleagues."

"This is a great example of our strong multi-disciplinary offering in this space; our Banking & Finance teams regularly work closely with our Corporate, Regulatory and Risk colleagues to assist both lender and borrower clients."

We also recently advised Suntera on a complex cross-border majority investment by Valeas.
