Islamic Finance

At the frontline of the growing Islamic finance market

The Islamic finance market is maturing fast and has now become mainstream. We can help you leverage the true potential of Shariah compliant financing.

Driven by technological advancements, regulatory change, and the adoption of sustainability and ESG principles, along with the opening of new geographic markets, we understand the Islamic finance sector and the solutions that are driving growth.

We operate across many of the primary international Islamic finance hubs, including Dubai, Riyadh and London. Our Islamic finance lawyers have deep knowledge of Shariah principles and have extensive experience in Shariah-compliant structures and Shariah-compliant financial products.

We advise banks, insurers, agencies and intermediaries on Islamic financing and ijarah structures in the shipping and aviation industries through to Murabaha facilities in the energy and commodities sectors. We also assist with corporate and regulatory issues, partnerships and joint ventures, corporate restructurings and funding requirements.
