Our Firm Our Team Expertise Our Clients Offices News & Publications

 

Our law firm has considerable expertise in dealing with the Central Bank on all regulatory and licensing issues affecting commercial banks, investment banks and other financial institutions that are doing business here in Kuwait. Combined with our knowledge of Kuwaiti banking law as codified in Decree No. 32 of 1968, On Currency, Central Bank of Kuwait and Organizing Banking Profession (the “Banking Law”), as amended, our firm can deliver both proper advice on the banking regulatory schemes in Kuwait as well as practical advice based upon our long-standing relationships with the Central Bank and other governmental regulatory divisions.
   
 
In addition, the Banking Law was recently amended in 2004 to open up the market to foreign bank branches. We have advised several foreign banks on these developments and implications.

In addition to representing financial institutions on the regulatory side, we also handle their financial transactions with clients here in Kuwait and abroad. From conducting due diligence on the borrowers, to drafting comprehensive loan documentation, to ensuring proper security interests are put into place that will stand up in Kuwaiti courts, Al Wagayan, Al Awadhi & Al Saif is considered the leading law firm in Kuwait with respect to finance.
