A fresh approach to transactions in the Middle East
Eversheds' global Islamic finance group specialises in providing advice to lenders and borrowers in connection with a range of Sharia'h compliant products and transactions.
We have a practice that covers Europe, the Middle East and the Far East through our offices in London and Qatar.
