Banking and Finance

Banking and Finance Law focuses on the contractual relationship between lenders and borrowers. In all financial transactions, the main aim is to negotiate and manage this relationship to ensure the represented party’s interests are met both legally and commercially.

Market conditions resulting from the global economic downturn have reduced liquidity worldwide and placed a greater focus on the risk profile of banking transactions. At the same time, transactions are becoming more diverse in nature and scope, there’s increased activity in the emerging markets and deals frequently cross borders.

Our banking practice advises clients on innovative lending transactions, bank products, credit products, deal structures, issues and alternatives, and on all types of secured transactions in today’s evolving marketplace.

Our team has unparalleled experience in advising on a wide range of structured trade and commodity finance products across the commodity value chain, including syndicated lending, cross-border financing, supply chain finance, pre-export and prepayment facilities, borrowing base financings, ownership based transactions and other off-balance sheet financings.
