Afridi & Angell

Afridi & Angell handles a wide array of banking and finance mandates, including loan facilities, refinancings and restructurings, and amendments to existing facilities and major transactional documentation. As part of an active cross-border practice, the firm has strong connections with Russian banks, advising on the restructuring of existing and new facilities to borrowers domiciled in the UAE free zones. Rahat Dar co-leads the practice alongside Bashir Ahmed, and combines extensive transactional and regulatory know-how to cover the full breadth of conventional and Islamic financing structures. Co-head Masood Afridi is recognised for his project finance capabilities.
