Banking, Finance & Debt  Restructurings

Our debt finance practice regularly advises borrowers and lenders on a variety of international and domestic financing transactions (conventional and Islamic), including acquisition, real estate, and project finance.  In addition, we have advised on equipment and aircraft leasing transactions and a variety of capital markets transactions ranging from Sukuk issuances to securitizations of automobile receivables.  Recently we have been involved in a number of major GCC debt restructurings and related transactions.  We have regular contact with the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) and advise a broad base of domestic and multinational clients on Saudi Arabian banking regulations, policies, and compliance issues. 

This expertise, alongside our in-depth knowledge of the legal entities and structures favored by Islamic banks and Shari'ah scholars in the Middle East, is particularly appreciated by our clients.

GPA’s status as the largest law firm in the Eastern Province, and one of the largest law firms in the Kingdom, makes it a major player in the energy and petrochemicals field.  GPA’s Dammam office grew with the oil industry and it frequently advises the major petroleum companies in the Eastern Province on all aspects of Saudi Law.  As the only law firm in the Eastern Province with an international association, GPA is able to offer clients a unique and unrivalled combination of local and international expertise.

GPA’s Energy Practice has grown in parallel with the oil boom and has thus accumulated rich experience in the local, regional and international petroleum and petrochemical industries.
