Financial institutions
Our clients are among the world’s leading financial institutions.
Many of those institutions operate in Africa. They regularly conduct high value transactions that require layers of financing and loan structures. Their business cuts across borders and jurisdictions and depends for its success upon legal advisers who understand the nature of their operation. We are one of the oldest legal practices to operate in the global banking and finance sector and our reputation is well known. We work for providers, arrangers and consumers of finance across all industry sectors.
We can:
- negotiate banking and hedging facilities, disposals, bond restructuring, debt and project financings, schemes of arrangement and capital raising transactions for you
- help you to conduct business transactions in a Shariah-compliant manner
- work with you through your local office in Africa or from any of our international offices, particularly Paris, London, Milan or Shanghai.
