Banking and finance

Over the past 30 years, our banking and finance partners have worked with over 80 different multinational, domestic and Islamic banks and financial institutions (including Citibank, World Bank, IFC, ADB, EXIM Bank and China EXIM Bank). This wealth of knowledge and experience is just one of the benefits of using our banking and finance team.

With a comprehensive understanding of financing and security arrangements (including enforcement), debt-to-equity conversions and syndicated and substantial loan transactions, we can draft, negotiate and advise upon extensive documentation suites.

We also provide drafting and advice on all kinds of Islamic modes of finance, including murabaha, musharika and sukuk.
