Banking & Finance

WLG’s Banking & Finance Practice Group consists of lawyers in our member firms who represent both domestic and foreign banks, non-bank financial institutions and quasi-financial institutions, and large and multi-national corporates on both advisory matters (regulatory, compliance, exchange control, etc.) and transactional matters (such as acquisition finance, project finance, restructuring and insolvency, structured finance, leverage finance, asset finance, funds finance and trade and export finance). They have vast experience and expertise in advising clients in cross-border matters and working with counsels from various jurisdictions.

Our member firm lawyers also work together in advising clients on the structuring of capital markets transactions, including a full range of debt and equity transactions, both in their domestic and international markets.

In addition to advising clients on both domestic and cross-border matters, this group serves as a hub for knowledge exchange on regulatory and market updates across regions and is targeted toward banking & finance, M&A, restructuring, and real estate finance lawyers.
