Our collegial style and our teamwork orientation match well with the project team approach used by most of our arranger, financial institution and borrower clients.

Our banking practice is among the best banking practices in the countries where we operate and we have a deep knowledge of the domestic laws. Our banking practice and our banking consultants have handled several transactions involving primary financial institutions and leading corporations as well as matters for our exceptional base of financial sponsor and other corporate relationship in several parts of the world.

Particular areas of emphasis include microfinance, leveraged finance, acquisition finance, financial institution lending, banking regulatory, restructuring and insolvency.

We are committed to bring this experience accrued overseas into Myanmar.

Bank Lending and Syndicated Loans

The our banking lending and syndicated loans group consists of a team of advisers drawn from our finance, corporate and real estate practices who have an unrivalled breadth and depth of experience of working with financial institutions in South-East Asia and the rest of the world. Arranging banks, lenders, sponsors and borrowers rely on our outstanding track record in cross-border financing across every industry, including commercial, financial and governmental sectors.

Bank lending, from straightforward bilateral facilities agreements to complex syndicated structured financings, and regulatory advices are other key elements of the firm’s banking & finance department.

Banking Regulatory

The increasingly complex and demanding requirements of both the Governments and National Banks have kept regulation at the top of every bank and financial institution’s agenda. Our financial services regulatory specialists have worked with a significant number of financial institutions to help them address effectively all aspects of financial services regulation including setting up local branches and obtaining the banking licenses from the relevant authorities.

Microfinance

We provide a full legal assistance since the very first step of the incorporation to more sophisticated banking and finance transactions in the microfinance.

Restructuring and Insolvency

We have unrivalled expertise in formal restructurings and informal workouts. We also offer practical and commercial advice on a full range of contentious and non-contentious issues encountered in insolvencies such as moratoriums, work-outs, standstills and override arrangements, rescheduling of debts, debt to equity swaps, restructuring by means of corporate finance transactions and restructurings through insolvency processes.
