Across the various sectors of finance including banking, projects, capital markets and funds, we at Bloomfield remain well positioned to provide legal and transactional advisory as regards the religious and legal principles governing this sector, as well as strategies our clients can effectively employ to actualise their best interests. In the course of our day-to-day practice, we regularly support banks, funds, investment managers, corporations, governments, government agencies and other players structure Shari’ah compliant transactions and financial products including ijarah, sukuk issuance, project and asset finance mandates, derivatives and structured finance mandates and general lending matters.

We provide domestic and cross border representation to both established and new participants in this market, helping them to successfully navigate the nuances of Islamic finance in a way that ensures the commercial viability of their products and services, as well as legal compliance with established rules of Islamic financing. We maintain relationships with regulatory authorities and Shari'ah Scholars who sit on various domestic Shari'ah advisory boards of active players in Islamic finance and offer a bonded team which has worked together on several finance transactions and supported projects in the local and international market with relevant experience in Islamic finance transactions.
