With dedicated teams of trade finance lawyers in our offices around the world, we should be your first port of call for trade and export finance legal support.
Whichever side of the deal table you’re sitting on, we have the experience to help you. Our lawyers provide advice to banks, financial institutions, traders, brokers, ship owners, insurers, producers and industrial end-users on all aspects of the financing of trade in hard and soft commodities.
Our team has assisted over 30 international and local banks, helping them prepare their trade finance documentation and advising on structured trade finance deals and supply chain programs. We can also provide you with dedicated legal support on import and export financing, receivables financing and asset-based lending, Islamic trade finance, hedging and derivatives for commodities financing, and litigations and international arbitration on trade finance disputes.
We’ll make it our business to work to your commercial priorities. Many of our lawyers have worked in-house and our involvement in all aspects of the physical and financial supply chain means we are well placed to guide you. We can provide you with guidance that is commercially smart and attuned to your market, as well as covering all possible legal outcomes.
Our global team is experienced in all aspects of trade and export finance law. Representative recent experience includes advising:
- a major bank on a without recourse accounts receivables purchase transaction with a leading global telecom operator
- a global bank on a structured trade prepayment facility to a global electronics company through red-clause documentary credits issued in favour of overseas suppliers
- over 30 banks and financial institutions on developing their trade finance and/or receivables purchase documentation and supply chain programs
“The lawyers I work with at Eversheds Sutherland understand the regulatory, finance and contractual aspects of the deal, as well as the physical infrastructure. That’s hard to find.”
