About

Provided by Zaid Ibrahim & Co (in association with KPMG Law)

We are a leading banking and finance practice. We assist local and foreign banks and financial institutions, and borrowers and other clients, including insurance companies, hedge funds and corporations, on all aspects of structuring, negotiating and documentation of all types of banking and finance transactions. This includes project financing involving infrastructure, power plants, water supply and distribution systems, toll roads, highways, railways and airports, as well as domestic and cross border syndicated lending and borrowing, export finance, structured trade finance, asset financing and leasing for aircraft and ships.

Our banking and finance lawyers also advise on exchange-traded and over-the counter (OTC) products, including swaps, options, forwards, repos, futures, structured products and derivatives-based securities products such as equity derivatives and credit derivatives. We advise on the regulatory and compliance aspects in the structuring, origination, dealing, marketing and sale of financial and derivatives products and services. As more and more banking and finance transactions frequently involve an element of derivatives, whether for risk management, credit enhancement or other purposes, our cross-disciplinary approach and expertise in banking and finance often complement and enhances the assistance which we can render in respect of such derivatives.
