Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has appointed Ryan Magee (pictured) as general counsel.
Magee has 15 years’ experience working as a legal professional in the real estate sector, including nine years at Allen & Overy.
More recently, Magee spent more than four years at OakNorth Bank, acting as senior director for legal and transaction management for much of that time.
Magee joined MFS to provide legal counsel across its operations, assisting the London-based specialist lender as it continues to scale.
MFS has grown significantly over the past two years, with £1bn currently available in funding and a new line of institutional funding worth £400m recently unveiled.
The company is on track to achieve its goal of growing its overall loan book to £1.5bn in 2023.
It has also doubled its employee headcount since the start of 2022, with more than 100 employees now on the team.
Magee 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.”
