The specific needs of the industry require a perfect understanding of a banker’s job. KOAN has developed an expertise which covers all types of banking operations (opening credit, facilities loans, acquisition financing and structured asset financing), and securities (guarantees, debt, assignment, pledging of debts, letters of credit, and first demand guarantees). Its services include both legal consultation and representation before Belgian and French courts or arbitration institutions. KOAN is also distinguished in the area of cross-border transactions, within Europe and elsewhere, and is regularly asked to defend the interests of major Belgian banks in other Member States (especially in France), as well as foreign financial institutions in Belgium.
KOAN provides support for its clients during their initial public offerings, in the course of drafting and adaptation of the introduction prospectus, through in buy-outs, and helps to ensure good relationships with the relevant market authorities.
