Banking & Finance

We advise leading domestic and international banks, investment companies, and financial institutions on the full spectrum of banking and finance law, bringing to each engagement a depth of regulatory knowledge that is grounded in direct institutional experience rather than external observation alone. Our team's history of service at the Central Bank of Kuwait and related GCC central banking regulations, gives us an authoritative understanding of Kuwait's monetary and banking regulatory framework that informs our advice at every level.

Our practice covers the breadth of banking and finance activity that Kuwait's financial sector demands, including banking regulation and supervision, acquisition and leveraged finance, aircraft and asset financing, project and corporate finance, trade finance, secured commercial lending and the full range of debt and equity capital structures. We advise on regulatory compliance, licensing matters, and all issues arising under Kuwait's Monetary Law and Central Bank regulations, acting for both institutions subject to regulation and those engaging with regulated counterparties.

We also maintain a dedicated Islamic finance capability, advising local and international banks and clients on Sharia-compliant structures across a wide range of banking, lending, and investment transactions. Our team keeps pace with the continuing evolution of Islamic finance practice in Kuwait, enabling us to advise on innovative structures with the same rigour and precision we bring to conventional finance mandates.
