About

Provided by BDK Advokati

Lending & Borrowing

Our finance practice distinguishes itself by a balanced experience of acting for both lenders and borrowers, its familiarity with LMA standard documentation and experience in drafting LMA-inspired local documentation. We advise clients on all types of financing: acquisition finance, project finance, commodity finance, working capital finance, and bridge financing. We have a strong track record of advising lenders on cross-border deals involving complex syndicated and parallel lending structures and security sharing arrangements. In the domain of commodity finance, we have experience with both true sale arrangements and secured loan structures. Our multidisciplinary team provides full-service representation in acquisition, development, and financing of greenfield or brownfield projects.

Non-Performing Loans

We are able to perform quick due diligence of large NPL portfolios and provide commercially meaningful advice to buyers, with the aim to help them obtain a realistic assessment of the marketability of the collaterals involved. We have experience in structuring NPL sales both as true sales and as synthetic arrangements.

OTC Derivatives

We have issued a number of legal opinions on ISDA documentation to foreign and domestic banks and negotiated schedules and other specific documentation for the OTC transactions. We also assist local banks in developing localized versions of master agreements based on ISDA documentation.
