Banking & Finance

Our Banking & Finance practice based in Oman can help you navigate every aspect of your proposed lending/borrowing and/or other financial structure. We have expertise in Islamic finance, project finance, leveraged finance, trade finance and corporate finance. For those participating in Islamic finance, there are specific challenges to consider including allocating legal, commercial and Shariah risks between parties and ensuring that transactions, products and services which purport to be Shariah compliant do not breach any Shariah prohibitions.

Whether you are a lender, borrower, sponsor, insolvency practitioner or debt advisor, our priority is resolving your challenges by delivering a combination of local and international expertise.

Today’s banking and finance transactions require expertise across a wide range of sectors. CMS is a top 10 global law firm with a strong sector focus. Our driver is to provide clients with pragmatic advice delivered by a multi-disciplinary team. With over 60 offices worldwide we provide sector expertise to support clients finance requirements and are recognised for providing clear commercial advice and getting the deal done for our clients.

Our clients range from domestic and major global corporates, funds and other financial institutions and advisors active in the Middle East as well as Asia, Europe and the Americas.
