We are proud to have worked on a number of the most exciting development projects around the globe.
In Asia, we advised State Bank of India on a US$150 million facility for the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India. In the Middle East, we acted as the senior agent to lenders on the Cross Israel Highway on a US$200 million project, acting through a wholly owned subsidiary and funded by local lenders, led by Bank Hapoalim.In Europe, we have assisted the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development with an array of projects, from a shopping mall in Jordan to a supermarket in Slovenia. And we helped a major Italian bank in the construction of a motorway in Croatia, advising on the €225 million financing for the section of the road linking Zagreb to Gorican.
Working with international banks and multinational borrowers, we see it as our role to make these projects come to fruition. We can advise our clients from the early stages of project structuring on risk allocation between different counterparts, bidding procedures and concession agreements, as well as on project bankability and security arrangements.
Whether you need help with term loans, syndications, guarantees, securitization, insolvency, joint ventures, contracts or insurance, our international team can guide you every step of the way. We offer meticulous planning and logistical support, drafting loan agreements and contracts, and ensuring that our clients have security over assets.
We understand that the complexities of banking law present challenges for our clients and we seek to provide clear advice focused on meeting your business needs.
