Sustainable Finance

Our Banking and Finance teams act for lenders, borrowers and investors on a wide range of lending transactions and have advised on a number of green and sustainability-linked loans.  This is a rapidly growing practice area which brings together the experience of our Banking and Finance teams globally with the expertise of our Corporate, Projects, Tax and Regulatory teams.

The environmental impact of investing is at the forefront of global financial institutions’ and investors’ minds and the integration of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations is key to the investment decision-making process and procedures in all specialisations of the finance sector. Our Banking and Finance teams act for lenders, financial institutions, sponsors and investors active in the sustainable finance space, advising on a wide range of ESG-focused and sustainable financing transactions in both the securitisation and wider finance space.

This is a rapidly growing practice area, which combines the experience of our global Banking and Finance teams with the expertise of our ESG Advisory Group to enable our clients achieve their ESG-focused and sustainability goals.
