Banking and Finance
Legal advice on banking and finance for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Overview
Banking and Finance advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Financing arrangements turn on two questions: whether the security is enforceable in the jurisdiction where the assets are, and whether the regulatory framework permits the structure the parties have in mind. Both are answered before the facility agreement is signed, or not at all.
Digests Global Law Firm advises lenders and borrowers on financing transactions governed by, or taking security in, the law of Uzbekistan.
Our banking and finance practice covers:
- Corporate lending, syndicated facilities and cross-border financing
- Security arrangements — pledge of movable and immovable property, of participatory interests and shares, guarantees and sureties, and their registration
- Project and acquisition finance
- Leasing and factoring arrangements
- Currency control requirements, and the repatriation of proceeds
- Banking regulation, licensing, and requirements of the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan
- Restructuring of distressed debt, and the enforcement of security
- Recovery of debt through the courts and in enforcement proceedings
We advise on what a given form of security is worth on enforcement in Uzbekistan, which is not always what the facility documents assume.
