Property Development and Advisory

Venerdi Finance has a successful track record in debt litigation and mediated outcomes. Venerdi Finance typically works from the first stage of litigation, assisting our client’s lawyers with early case assessment and strategic discovery efforts to ensure that the right documents, witness statements and expert testimony are in place. We can provide consulting and expert testimony services for commercial lending disputes involving commercial real estate debt. We have direct experience in the litigation process and have strong relationships with many of the major law firms in Brisbane. Our clients have been able to benefit from accurate and fast service at a cost-effective price that compliments and supports our client’s litigation cases.
Venerdi Finance has worked with some of Australia’s top law firms and assisted in resolving complex financial disputes. Ian Bloemendal, a partner at Clayton Utz, worked with Venerdi Finance for a number of years on a matter involving a dispute between one of Venerdi Finance’s lending syndicates and the legal advisors responsible for the initial loan. Venerdi Finance assisted with the disclosure, witness statements and commercial issues which were invaluable to resolving the complex issues in dispute. Emma’s ability to communicate and coordinate the individual syndicate’s members instructions and detailed knowledge of the mezzanine lending process help secure a successful mediated outcome for the syndicate.

Our Project

Litigation Debt: Circa
$ 0
In May 2007, Venerdi Finance arranged a syndicate of private lenders to provide $7.5M in mezzanine finance for a commercial strata property development. This debt was to be repaid in December 2009 however a deficiency in the sales contracts allowed all on the plan purchasers to rescind their contract. The Borrowers were unable to resell the commercial strata and the mezzanine loan was in default.

Venerdi Finance was engaged by the mezzanine syndicate in October 2009 to act on their behalf and work with Clayton Utz to litigate for damages from the original drafters of the pre-sale contracts and parties that had verified their enforceability. The litigation was mediated in May 2012 and resulted in a successful outcome for the syndicate.
