The lender's lawyers usually co-ordinate the execution of the finance documents either through a physical signing meeting or, more commonly these days, a virtual signing. However the documents are to be signed, the lender's lawyers will be responsible for co-ordinating the execution versions of the finance documents and making them available to all parties for execution.

The borrower's lawyers might be required to assist with the execution of the finance documents (or any other transaction documents requiring execution) by their clients.

While physical signing meetings still feature in the banking and finance space, they have become much rarer, having been replaced by the virtual execution of documents, including the use of electronic signatures.
