Deal Flash

Responsible Group, a leading broker and correspondent lender in the later life lending (equity release) industry, has sold a minority stake to The Royal London Mutual Insurance Society Limited (Royal London), the UK’s largest life, pensions and investment mutual; this move will help the group accelerate growth and boost its later life lending proposition. 

We were delighted with our decision to engage Oaklins Cavendish to advise us on our plans to bring inward investment to the group. The team brought a number of highly complementary skills to our internal deal team. They calmly helped us navigate all stages of the process, from due diligence through to completion. They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them. STEVE WILKIE, CHAIRMAN AND CO-FOUNDER, RESPONSIBLE GROUP, UK
