The banking sector is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Changes in the organization of companies and the evolution of digitalization on an unprecedented scale are driving a series of related technologies that have significantly altered existing paradigms.

The challenges increase when the legal framework of credit institutions and financial companies evolves at a different time than reality, and the task of finding solutions that reconcile cultural differences, divergent business climates, and legal frameworks is often complex.

Companies can anticipate a robust regulatory production in the areas of crypto-activities, databases of bank accounts and payments, among others in the near future as well as a restructuring of bank loans and an increase in insolvencies

Whatever your opportunities or challenges may be, our team is built to provide crucial advice to businesses as they engage with the challenge of expanding by growth or to diversify into new sectors and markets, to exit investments or to divest of non-core activities, to raise funds or to list on the public markets.

We can help you shape your strategy, manage risks and make the most of business opportunities in these areas:

  • Corporate Finance
  • Acquisition Finance
  • Leveraged & Mezzanine Finance
  • Real Estate Finance
  •  Projects and Infrastructures Finance
  • Structured Finance

We have an in-depth knowledge of how banking law applies in practice across different markets and with cross-disciplinary teams, we work to provide advice close to our clients’ needs.
