Gateley PLC joins the ASTL




Gateley PLC – the legal business of law-led professional services group Gateley – has joined the Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL) as an associate member.

Gateley PLC offers a range of services from dispute resolution, regulatory and restructuring and banking and financial services, to corporate, commercial, real estate, pensions, tax and private wealth.

Earlier this year, the company reported a 15.7% increase in revenue and 18.8% rise in pre-tax profits.

Rob Payne, a partner in the financial disputes and regulation team at Gately PLC, said: “Short-term lending has a vital role to play in the dynamic credit markets, and with many existing clients and contacts in both the membership and associate membership, we are delighted to have joined the ASTL.


“As a forward-thinking PLC business, we are constantly evolving and we look forward to playing a full part in promoting the interests of the ASTL members and the wider finance industry going forward.”

Benson Hersch, CEO of the ASTL (pictured above), added: “I heard only good things about Gateley PLC from our members.

“I understand that the firm has experienced another year of expansion as a result of its client relationships, its service offering and its team of professionals.

“Its specialist expertise in the industry should certainly add value to the ASTL’s growing and diversifying membership.

“Gateley PLC joins a host of associate members, which includes surveyors and insolvency experts who can all help the Association’s lender members with specialist areas of the short-term lending market.”

The ASTL now has 38 members and 31 associate members.

Last week, the ASTL announced the full line-up for its upcoming conference.
