Ashurst

Acting on its own as well as often in collaboration with Islamic finance experts based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the 'helpful, commercial and responsive' team at Ashurst is well-suited to advising Islamic and conventional banks, central banks and corporates across a myriad of Islamic finance products and transactions. The London team is led by Conor Funston who, as well as offering practical knowledge gleaned from many years structuring deals in accordance with differing interpretations and applications of Islamic finance structures in many different jurisdictions, also brings additional insight to clients by virtue of his involvement in various working groups. In addition, he is able to draw upon a wealth of broader finance capability from the office's strong overarching capital markets, banking and project finance practices, in particular.
