The Financial Intermediary & Broker Association (FIBA) has appointed Blacks Connect to its panel of professional partners to provide legal services to FIBA members’ customers.

Blacks Connect is part of Blacks Solicitors LLP, a 21-partner full service law firm and offers an online quotation, instruction and case management system via its conveyancing platform.

Adam Tyler (pictured), executive chairman of FIBA, said: “We are committed to providing our members and their customers with the best services to support the lending solutions they offer. Not only does Blacks Connect share our commitment to improving standards but has also conclusively demonstrated its ability to provide the kind of service for commercial deals which we are looking for.

“Many conveyancing firms do not have the necessary expertise in this vital sector, however, Blacks Connect more than meet the standards of expertise and criteria that we expect as partners of FIBA.”

David Gilman, senior partner at Blacks, added: “Blacks Connect are delighted to have joined FIBA as a Professional Partner and looking forward to working closely with both members and other partners. We recognise short term lending and commercial markets are becoming more specialised and complex, so will welcome the opportunity of working together by sharing our wealth of knowledge and experience of operating in this sector.

“We are pleased to be part of a professional association that exists to help financial intermediaries flourish and to be able to forge new and lasting relationships built upon collaboration and trust for the benefit of FIBA members and their clients.”
