BANKING, FINANCE, & PROJECT FINANCE

R&P advises numerous leading Egyptian, regional and international banks and financial institutions on various high-value syndicated facilities and loans, project finance, settlements of debts, and debt restructures. In addition, we have strengthened our restructuring work to complement our banking practice.

Most importantly, the firm’s collegial style matches well with the project team approach used by most of our arranger and borrower clients.

As part of our banking and finance practice, we advise and assist our clients in connection with syndicated loans, structured finance and asset finance. We also assist in drafting loan documentation, such as facility agreements, subordinated loan agreements, security documents including commercial and real estate mortgages, pledge of shares, assignments of rights, pledges over movables and bridge financing. Our team is experienced in settlement negotiations and agreements and debt restructuring. The team experience is also extended to banking regulations and supervision, foreign exchange, setting up of funds and other investment structures, as well as the establishment of entities regulated by the Central Bank of Egypt.

Our team project finance experience is extended to oil and gas, real estate, manufacturing, airports and container terminals sectors. Further, our experience in project finance also includes consortia financed by international institutions for the purpose of financing large-scale infrastructure projects.

Our advice is always supported by our local knowledge of the challenges and incentives present while advising on commercial bank loans, export credit agencies, and other bilateral/multilateral facilities.
