A process agent is an appointed representative upon whom court papers may be served, typically in financing transactions. When you hire a professional process agent, you can be assured that the appropriate steps will be taken in a timely manner when service of process is received. It also saves you the time and expense that would be incurred in setting up offices in different states and/or countries.
In a cross-border financing transaction, you have to decide which country’s governing law will preside over legal issues. Typically, companies choose New York, London, Hong Kong or Singapore because they’re financial centers with well-developed contract, commercial and business laws.
Lenders require that you appoint a process agent to be a contact with a physical address within that chosen jurisdiction. Your process agent will receive legal documents and notices related to your financing transaction, and forward them to your designated contact.
Before you can close your deal, you will need to provide evidence of the acceptance by your process agent. That’s why we work hard to be a process agent you can trust to work with your whole transaction team: lenders, lessors, each party’s counsel and the company, as borrower or issuer.
