Middletons Lawyers acted for GE Commercial Finance in a rapid refinancing arrangement whereby Strathfield Group Ltd (Strathfield) entered into a three-year revolving credit facility with GE Commercial Finance. Middletons said the facility offered competitive pricing and the flexibility to meet Strathfield’s short-term and medium-term funding requirements while taking into account the seasonal nature of Strathfield’s retail business. Dina Glass, in the firm’s banking & finance group, was the lead partner on the deal.
