WFW’s specialist focus on the commodities market and long-standing expertise in complex finance-orientated work ensure it is a leading adviser in the commodity and structured finance space. WFW also has a strong and active disputes team which has operated in the commodities sector for many years.
WFW is particularly strong in its specialist sectors. Natural resources is one such specialist sector for the firm, with considerable expertise in the mining and minerals, soft commodities, oil and gas and other energy markets, particularly in relation to corporate/M&A, finance and disputes matters. WFW understands the vagaries of the commodity life cycle and the full extent of the supply chain.
WFW is active in leading commodities-producing regions such as Africa, Asia and Latin America - in particular markets such as West Africa, India and Brazil - as well as Western and Eastern Europe. The team advises banks and non-bank lenders, commodities houses and trade borrowers despite the continued volatility of global financial markets.
