About

Provided by Norton Rose Fulbright

For 40 years, our Islamic finance practice has delivered pioneering advice to Islamic financial institutions, conventional banks, corporates and governments. Led by the head of Middle East Mohammed Paracha in Dubai, our team in the region continues to be noted for its breadth and our extensive cross-border work. Often working alongside our colleagues across the globe to service our clients, our team has been busy over the past 12 months on a variety of high profile, “market-first”, cross-border Islamic finance mandates. Our team advises our clients on a very broad range of financings on a Shariah compliant basis. We continue to be one of only a handful of global law firms that offer a fully integrated, global Islamic Finance capability. 

One of our greatest strengths is the fact that our Islamic finance practice cuts across so many sectors. We are not just advising on vanilla banking matters with Islamic finance requirements, our experience extends across projects, debt capital markets, real estate, investment funds, and regulatory and advisory matters. We have consistently worked on highly innovative structures and deals that are the first of their kind.
