Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has appointed Ryan Magee as its new General Counsel.

Magee (pictured) has 15 years’ experience working as a legal professional in the real estate sector, with particularly strong skills in relation to property finance and corporate finance.

He trained as a solicitor while at Allen & Overy before rising to become a Senior Associate for Real Estate Finance and Corporate Lending Team during a nine-year stint at the firm. More recently, Magee spent more than four years at OakNorth Bank, acting as Senior Director for Legal & Transaction Management for much of that time.

Magee joins the MFS team to provide legal counsel across the company’s operations, assisting the London-based specialist lender as it continues to scale at pace.

He said: “I’m delighted to have joined MFS. The company has a stellar track record, and its growth over recent years has been hugely impressive. I was immediately struck by the leadership’s ambitious plans – there is a clear collective goal to expand the business, constantly deliver better products and services, and provide unwavering support to the broker and investor communities.

“Having worked across a number of real estate roles, I am excited to apply my experience to help MFS push ahead and achieve many more impressive feats in the years to come.”

Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, added: “It is great to have Ryan join the MFS team. He brings a huge amount of skill and experience in the fields of property finance and real estate transactions, so he will undoubtedly play a key role in supporting us on our journey.”
