RAKIA Sukuk (continued...) - Islamic Finance News

Islamic finance experience to support you
For more than thirty years White & Case has been active in the structuring and
implementation of a wide variety of financial transactions compliant with Islamic law.
Our work is frequently ground-breaking. Examples of landmark deals that we have advised
on include: a revolutionary $2.875 billion Islamic finance facility that set a precedent in the
telecoms sector; the first Sukuk to be issued in the international capital markets by a Saudi
corporate; and the Islamic financing of the Hajj Terminal Expansion at Jeddah airport.
Our Islamic Finance Unit operates primarily from our offices in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, London,
New York and Singapore, and comprises lawyers drawn from across the broad range of
practices that we offer as a full service international law firm, including lawyers from
our asset finance, banking, capital markets, corporate, infrastructure and project finance
practices. Many members are fluent in Arabic, were trained in the Shara principles at
leading academic institutions and have resided for considerable time in the Middle East
and elsewhere in the Islamic world.
Our considerable experience in conventional international financing, our knowledge of
Islamic financing structures, and our strong relations with investment bankers and
Shara scholars place us in an excellent position to address and resolve the issues that
arise in developing and executing any Islamic financing.
