Department Purpose and Structure
The financial crisis and its consequences continue to reverberate. Banks and borrowers need innovative, adaptable legal services from lawyers who are able to offer robust advice in an uncertain economic climate. Now, more than ever, general lending transactions need to be structured and negotiated to take account of market and client requirements. Allen & Overy can advise on any form of financing that borrowers or lenders choose to undertake, and clients often call on us to advise on the groundbreaking deals and structures which eventually become the market standard.
Our Banking Group in Amsterdam is consistently ranked Tier 1 in all leading directories across all relevant areas (investment grade lending, leveraged finance, asset finance and restructuring).
Our combination of English and Dutch law capabilities, combined with the product and sector expertise offered by the team sets us apart from our competitors.
