Rowe Cohen announces sub-prime department

Headed by partner Mike Hymanson, the firm claims to be able to complete a standard remortgage case within five days from receipt of offer.

Hymanson explains: "The mortgage industry is going through a major upheaval at the moment. Regulations are becoming increasingly rigorous and the implications of Money Laundering and The Proceeds of Crime Act can't be underestimated.

"Having said that, it is still crucial for brokers that lawyers turn cases around quickly.

"We have state of the art case management systems and extremely talented people in place to ensure that work is completed swiftly and accurately."

Rowe Cohen already handles cases on behalf of a number of financial institutions and packaging brokers.
