Sovereign Debt Management

Expert advice on International Capital, Climate Financing, specialising in litigation, arbitration, and financial regulation.

Our Sovereign debt practice was established to meet client’s needs in the area of debt management and has evolved as a result of our international thinking and the needs of our clients. The Covid-19 pandemic and the international geo-political movements have resulted in a new shift and focus on international capital and the role of domestic credit. At the same time the emerging world of crypto-currencies and climate change based financing have resulted in a more complex economy.
