Banking and finance
We have decades of experience in advising leading financial institutions, funds and corporations on various transactions, from complex structured debt relationships to simple bilateral loan agreements.
Our lawyers advise asset managers, service providers, account managers, depositaries, fund managers, insurance companies, companies, pension funds, institutional investors and banks. Thanks to our extensive practical experience and diverse client base, we are able to apply our expertise in the best interests of our clients, regardless of the financial services sector in which the company operates.
Our understanding of legal nuances and the commercial environment of the sector ensures that we keep pace with new business practices and regulatory developments. In addition to interpreting legal provisions, we provide proactive insights and clear, practical summaries of regulatory priorities, consultation reports, new ideas, and emerging types of funds and advisory services.
Our legal advice is practical and business-oriented, and our relationships with clients are reliable and long-lasting, often decades-long. Eversheds Sutherland’s expert team in banking and financing operations operates across borders, allowing to involve additional resources from other offices, if necessary, for more complex tasks.
