We have a multi-disciplinary banking and finance team, which works alongside major financial services players such as banks, credit funds, financial services providers and payment institutions, as well as governments and governmental institutions. We also act for borrowers – including private equity, real estate and infrastructure funds, large corporates as well as small-medium enterprises, foundations, family offices and high net-worth individuals – to navigate the most complex finance-related issues.
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of banking and finance challenges and opportunities, advising on domestic and, through our presence in London, cross-border transactions (including leveraged, acquisition, real estate, project and asset-based finance), syndicated lending, structured finance (including securitisations), payment transactions, bonds, public-private partnerships (PPP) and derivative financial instruments and investment in distressed assets such as NPLs and UTPs.
We have significant expertise in shipping finance, and frequently guide our clients through the challenges of sustainable and transition finance. We have extensive experience in dealing with the ever-increasing compliance burdens of the banking and financial industry, offering some of the sector's leading regulatory experts.
More widely, we draw seamlessly upon the experience of other relevant practice and sector groups, including energy, real estate and construction, M&A and private equity, restructuring and insolvency, and tax, in order to address each client’s unique circumstances.
