Allens has one of the largest and most dynamic groups of banking specialists in the region.
Our practice extends across project finance, acquisition and leveraged finance, securitisation and debt capital markets, asset finance and corporate and property finance. With offices in major cities in Australia, Vietnam and PNG, we consistently work on the highest profile financing transactions in the Asia Pacific region, offering a highly commercial service. We regularly lead the charge on financings involving new and innovative structures and alternative sources of funding.
In Australia, we have more specialist partners in this area than any other top tier firm. We are one of the few firms to feature on every major legal panel in the Australian finance market and advise some of the world's leading financial institutions, as well as a large number of corporate borrowers from a range of industries.
In Vietnam, Allens' Banking & Finance practice is best known for working on the largest and most complex financings in the country, particularly the financing of major resources, power and infrastructure projects. We have acted on more major projects in Vietnam than any other firm and are well-known for cross-border complex financing.
Our presence in Asia continues to strengthen through our international alliance with Linklaters, servicing banks, their clients and our own corporate clients in multi-jurisdictional transactions and with multi-level funding arrangements.
