Trade finance lawyers

Our team take the time to understand your requirements and advise on all the practicalities you need to be aware of. With offices around the world, we are able to support in complex cross-border cases, if necessary coming up with a bespoke solution.

We pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to assess which trade finance option is most suitable for their circumstances.

It might be structured and transactional trade finance, supply chain finance and discounting, or forfeiting and debt options. Perhaps we’ll need to create a bespoke solution. Whatever you choose, we are here to advise on all the practical aspects, including export and multilateral credits, trust receipt financing, export and import documentation, bills of lading, letters of credit and associated trade documents.
 

In the US, one multinational company consulted us on demand requirements under a standby letter of credit in the light of foreign injunctions and legal proceedings. We also successfully advised an equipment supplier on letters of credit supporting construction arrangements for a major chemical plant. And we were able to help with reviewing all trade finance documentation for a Turkish bank.
