It represents lenders as well as borrowers in the negotiation of high-value, cross-border facility agreements, and the team has experience advising on conventional, Islamic and hybrid financing arrangements. The firm's broad international network is a frequent benefit on transactions, and the Cairo banking team often works in tandem with colleagues based in London or Dubai.
