Banking and Finance

Al Tamimi & Company’s Banking & Finance team has an unrivalled understanding of the legal landscape across the Middle East and North Africa.

With an expert team of multi-lingual and diverse lawyers operating on the ground across MENA, Al Tamimi & Company has the expertise and capacity to handle the biggest and most complex banking and finance matters.  

Our clients choose us because they need expert support from lawyers who know their markets and how to operate most effectively within them. Our clients benefit from the long-standing relationships we have built up over many years with regulators, ministries and financial authorities in our region. In some cases, we have even helped to draft the laws which govern the financial markets in which we operate.

We advise international, national and regional banks, as well as corporate entities, ministries and regulators themselves. An increasing number of our clients are FinTech companies, non-financial institutions and virtual asset providers.  Our practice and expertise evolve in-step with the needs of our clients.

We have English banking law capabilities and are able to advise on a broad range of English law financings, including:

• Loan agreements: drafting and negotiating facility agreements and ancillary documents across a range of financing types and asset classes.
• Legal opinions: issuing English law legal opinions.
• Intercreditor agreements: drafting and negotiating intercreditor arrangements.
• Hedging: advising on the ISDA master agreements and negotiating and drafting ISDA schedules and credit support agreements.
