Banking & Finance

OA advises lenders, borrowers and investors across a broad spectrum of financing transactions, including bilateral and syndicated lending, project finance and structured financing arrangements. Our approach focuses on the legal architecture of capital — ensuring that financing structures, security packages and contractual frameworks support both the commercial objectives of the transaction and long-term financial stability.

We regularly assist clients in structuring financing arrangements connected to corporate transactions, infrastructure projects and cross-border investments. Our work includes the negotiation of complex credit agreements, the design of multi-layer financing structures and the establishment of security and collateral frameworks across jurisdictions.

Our banking and finance practice operates in close coordination with our corporate, tax and capital markets teams. Financing structures are therefore assessed not only from a credit perspective but also in light of their implications for corporate governance, regulatory compliance and investor rights.

In restructuring and refinancing scenarios, we assist financial institutions and corporate borrowers in renegotiating credit structures, revising security arrangements and stabilizing distressed capital structures. Our dispute resolution experience further enables us to anticipate potential areas of conflict and structure financing documentation that remains resilient under stress.
