Banking & Finance

Our banking and finance practice advises domestic and international banks, financial institutions, funds and corporate borrowers on financings ranging from bilateral facilities to syndicated, project and structured transactions. The documentation matters most in the scenario nobody plans for, and that is the scenario we draft against.

The work covers facility agreements and intercreditor arrangements, security packages over shares, receivables, accounts, movable assets and land, guarantees and support arrangements, and the legal opinions that international lenders require before drawdown. We advise on perfection and priority under Jordanian law and on the practical steps needed to enforce a security interest here.

We also advise financial institutions on their own regulatory position — licensing, capital and prudential requirements, outsourcing, consumer finance rules, payment services and the anti-money-laundering framework — and act on distressed situations, restructurings and enforcement.

We keep our security opinions practical. It is not enough that an interest is validly created; the client needs to know how it ranks, what steps preserve that ranking over time, and how long enforcement realistically takes before the competent court. Those answers shape the pricing and the covenant package, and we give them before the term sheet is signed rather than after.
