Our Banking practice encompasses both transactional and regulatory expertise. Whether our clients seek top teams for acquisition and takeover financing, syndicated credit facilities, borrowing base, project financing, derivatives, export credit or real estate finance, we can provide the highest-quality advice available in the Belgian market. In addition, we have vast experience in combined bank-bond financings and refinancings.
Banking in Belgium increasingly requires thorough knowledge of the regulatory framework. Our long-standing contacts with the local regulatory authorities and our skilful expertise in financial regulation, internet banking and private banking give our clients a major competitive advantage.
Our Capital Markets lawyers have advised on virtually all significant IPOs in Belgium over the past decade, including the largest ever in Belgium. We have been involved in the vast majority of major recent regulatory capital Tier 1 and Tier 2 issues, as well as hybrid financings and convertible bond issues.
Our team covers the spectrum of domestic and cross-border securities, bank financings, issues of equity, warrants, convertibles and other equity-linked instruments, as well as debt (including MTNs). We also have vast experience of private placements and public offerings in Belgium and throughout Europe.
