Banking, Finance and Projects

Practice Overview

We advise lenders, borrowers, investors and project sponsors on the legal structuring and documentation of financing transactions. Our work focuses on clear drawdown and repayment terms, undertakings, security and events of default, while reflecting banking and regulatory requirements and the commercial purpose of the financing.

How We Support Clients

We review the transaction structure and documents as a connected package, identifying approvals, conditions precedent and the steps required to complete security. We support negotiation, signing, closing and later amendments, and coordinate with financial and technical advisers when the project requires specialist input.

Regional And Cross-Border Work

Where financing spans more than one country, we review the relationship among the finance documents, security package and borrower or guarantor entities in each jurisdiction and identify matters requiring local advice or action. This coordination helps the parties manage conditions precedent, security completion and signatures against a single clear timetable.

Our Approach

We review the financing structure, finance documents, security package and conditions precedent as one connected transaction. At an early stage, we identify approvals, perfection and registration steps, corporate authorities and documentary dependencies. During negotiation and closing, we maintain a consolidated issues list and completion plan so that commercial decisions, signatures and security actions remain aligned.

Our Services Include

• Banking facilities, credit lines and syndicated loans
• Trade finance, project finance and letter-of-credit arrangements
• Loan agreements, undertakings, guarantees, security interests and mortgages
• Sharia-compliant financing structures where relevant to the transaction
• Legal review of finance documents and conditions precedent
• Amendments, waivers and adjustment of financing terms within the agreed mandate
• Priority and intercreditor arrangements and multi-party security packages
• Debt restructuring, distressed situations and negotiation of repayment arrangements

Why Clients Choose Our Team

We support lenders, borrowers, investors and project sponsors with bilingual documentation and coordinated advice across corporate, regulatory, real estate and dispute issues that may affect a financing. Where the transaction extends beyond one country, we identify the work requiring local advice and coordinate it against a single timetable, while keeping the client informed of legal conditions and completion risk.

Matter Management And Reporting

At the start of each engagement, we agree the scope, responsible team, required documents, decision points and reporting format. The responsible partner supervises material advice and negotiations, while the working team maintains the action list, document versions and procedural calendar. The client is informed of material developments, outstanding requirements and the next recommended step.
