PRACTICE AREAS

Banking and Finance Law

Banking and financial institutions are heavily regulated institutions with laws imposing strict reporting and governance requirements, restrictions on certain stock purchases, and peculiar tax treatment of certain transactions to name but a few. Our experience in this field covers the provision of advice, and representation of clients in lending and regulatory compliance, fiduciary activities, securitizations, payment systems, electronic banking, data security and risk management.

Aside from banks, we also provide legal advice to insurance companies, hospitals, telecommunication companies and other corporate entities on matters around the raising of capital, both locally and internationally, as well as on debt acquisition financing and rights issues.
