Finance Connect welcomes Bermans as new Associate Member

Finance Connect is delighted to announce Bermans as our latest Associate Member, further strengthening our network of leading professional services firms supporting the UK asset and invoice finance industry.

Bermans is a multi-award-winning UK commercial law firm with offices in Liverpool and Manchester, widely recognised for its expertise in asset based lending (ABL) and invoice finance. The firm acts for a broad range of clients including UK and international banks, independent and alternative lenders, discounters, brokers, and corporate borrowers, providing end-to-end legal support across both non-contentious and contentious ABL matters.

With a long-established reputation in the sector, Bermans advises on the full lifecycle of ABL transactions, from structuring facilities and drafting security documentation through to amendments, refinancings, acquisitions and exits. The firm is particularly well regarded for its commercially focused and practical approach, helping clients navigate increasingly complex funding and risk environments.

Alongside its transactional capability, Bermans is also recognised as a leading adviser in contentious ABL and creditor services work. The firm regularly represents lenders in disputes, enforcement actions, fraud claims, insolvency-related litigation, borrower defaults and recovery actions. Its specialist team works closely with insolvency practitioners and stakeholders to protect lenders’ positions and maximise recoveries in distressed situations.

Bermans’ combination of transactional expertise and litigation strength has earned the firm consistent recognition in The Legal 500 for both contentious and non-contentious ABL work, making it a trusted adviser to lenders operating across the UK asset and invoice finance market.

Jonathan Berkson, Senior Partner – Head of Creditor Services at Bermans, said: “We are delighted to be joining Finance Connect as an Associate Member.

“It is an excellent forum for collaboration across the asset and invoice finance market, and we look forward to contributing our practical experience in both transactional and contentious creditor work.”

Edward Peck, CEO of Finance Connect, added: “We are very pleased to welcome Bermans to Finance Connect as an Associate Member.

“Their long-standing reputation and specialist expertise across both transactional and contentious asset based lending work make them a highly valuable addition to our community. Bermans’ deep understanding of the market, combined with their practical and commercially focused approach, will bring significant insight and value to our members and wider industry network.”

Finance Connect looks forward to working with Bermans across our conferences, research programmes and specialist communities, as we continue to support collaboration, innovation and best practice throughout the asset and invoice finance sector.
