Ashurst's 'exceptionally responsive and extremely commercial' London team acts alone, as well as regularly alongside colleagues in Jeddah and Riyadh, for stakeholders across a range of Shariah-compliant structures relating to bank finance, debt capital markets and structured finance mandates. Leveraging the firm's overarching infrastructure and energy prowess, a core strength of the team lies in its ability to structure complex project finance mandates in the Middle East, transactions which involve multi-source financings, with conventional debt frequently sitting alongside Islamic structures. 'Highly experienced' team head Conor Funston has a deep 'breadth of knowledge' and experience at handling transactions involving differing interpretations and application of Shariah principles in Islamic finance markets across the world. This knowledge is effectively implemented, not only on complex bank and capital markets structures, but also in the context of establishing Shariah compliant investment funds.
