LMA Financing Documents

The Challenge:

Reviewing industry-standard agreements, such as those from the Loan Market Association (LMA), is time-consuming and complex. The LMA provides standardized documentation for syndicated loans and other financial transactions, widely used by banks and financial institutions. A single sentence in these documents can include multiple defined terms and cross-references, taking professionals up to 5.2 hours to review just one sentence in a 400-page document. With hourly rates between $500 and $1,000, this inefficiency is costly.
