Main Areas Of Practice
Our team of Islamic finance solicitors are highly experienced in dealing with Shari'ah compliant finance facilities in a variety of sectors including:
Real Estate – Commodity Murabaha structures
We offer a range of practical and targeted capital financing solutions to meet our clients' requirements in respect of their property needs. Our Commodity Murabaha structure involves the sale of base metals on the London Metals Exchange to create cash flows similar to a conventional property acquisition and/or development facility.
Real Estate – Diminishing Musharakah transactions
Our Diminishing Musharakah transactions involve the establishment of a partnership arrangement where the bank jointly buys and then transfers ownership of a property to the customer over time.
Aviation
We provide highly respected and comprehensive legal advice for clients engaging in Shari'ah compliant operating and finance leases of aircraft. By using the Ijara and Ijara wa Iqtina financing arrangements, which often involve establishing a lease arrangement that includes a promise to transfer ownership of the aircraft in question, we ensure that our clients receive Shari'ah compliant outcomes.
Related Expertise
Our Clients
Our team advises and acts for customers and also both conventional and Shari’ah compliant financial institutions. We are recommended as preferred solicitors to real estate investors and developers in London and the surrounding regions.
