Banking and Finance Law

There is an exceptional volatility in the global financial system which is subjecting market participants to extraordinary risk and uncertainty. The reassessment of risk by both lenders and borrowers has resulted in a less borrower-friendly environment and more restrictive terms in finance documents. Sporadic changes in the financial, institutional and regulatory framework have transformed the way banking business is conducted and are affecting legal arrangements. We are keen to assist and swiftly advising our clients to adapt to the new banking ways so as to help them to achieve their business objectives.
