Our experience

In an increasingly complex and competitive financial market, clients benefit from our banking and finance group’s experience from both debtor and creditor perspectives.

Our banking and finance lawyers understand how to manage the legal and commercial risks inherent in all financial transactions and offer smart, effective solutions to both borrowers and lenders. We advise across the full spectrum of financing transactions, ranging from corporate and property finance to complex structured and project financing matters, solvent and insolvent restructurings and recapitalisations.

The group’s clients include a number of major domestic and international trading and investment banks and financiers. We also advise substantial private family groups, corporates, property developers, private equity, hedge and special situation funds, fund managers, institutional investors, project sponsors and underwriters in domestic and cross-border transactions.  

We understand that for many of our clients, financing is just one aspect of the deal, and so our teams are resourced to provide legal services across all disciplines required and to seamlessly integrate advice with our property, construction, commercial, insolvency and tax teams.  

"The ability to translate commercial imperatives into legal outcomes is extremely important. Being able to do this in a balanced and pragmatic way whilst also minimising risk is critical. Arnold Bloch Leibler consistently delivers in this regard."
