Banking

Over the years, we have advised domestic and international banks, investment firms, and other institutional financial entities on regulatory compliance, transactions, and disputes. Since the onset of Lebanon’s economic and banking crisis, we have also represented Lebanese clients and depositors vis-à-vis Lebanese banks to recover and regularize their deposits and to challenge unlawful restrictions on access to funds.

Our work spans deposit recovery strategies, settlement negotiations, litigation and precautionary measures, enforcement and cross-border asset recovery, and coordination with foreign counsel where needed. We continue to advise on the full spectrum of banking regulation—including prudential requirements, AML/CFT, Islamic finance, and fintech—grounding each mandate in practical, business-aware risk management.

Drawing on deep knowledge of local and international frameworks, we balance constructive engagement with robust advocacy. We work closely with financial institutions and affected depositors alike to reach pragmatic outcomes amid evolving regulatory proposals and market constraints.
