Themis Law Partners

Finance

We advise borrowers, sponsors and lenders on a broad range of domestic and cross-border financing transactions. We structure, negotiate, and document complex transactions across multiple asset classes and financing lifecycles.

Banking

We act for borrowers and sponsors, including corporations and SMEs, joint ventures, partnerships, family offices and investment funds. We also act for lenders, in particular private banks, challenger banks and alternative lenders.

We structure and negotiate lending arrangements, whether this requires bilateral or syndicated facilities or more complex bridge, mezzanine or hybrid financing. We also advise on security and collateral arrangements, refinancings and restructuring and insolvency processes.

Structured Finance

We advise on high-yield and investment-grade bonds, acquisition financings, LBOs and liability management strategies, including tender and exchange offers.

We have deep experience with debt programmes, hybrid and regulatory capital, equity-linked instruments, private placements, Islamic structures and sustainable finance products.

Derivatives

We advise on the full range of derivatives products, including credit, equity, fixed income, currency, digital asset and commodity-linked instruments. We support clients across legal, structural and documentation aspects, covering repos, stock lending, hedging and the use of derivatives in financing, tax, insurance and corporate structures.

We help clients navigate global rules such as Dodd-Frank, EMIR, MiFID and have led large-scale projects like IBOR transition and uncleared margin compliance.

Capital Markets

We cover the full spectrum of debt and equity capital markets, high yield, structured credit and derivatives, securitization and corporate trust. Our clients include investment banks, corporates, sovereigns and funds.

We assist major market participants in the capital markets on issuance, settlement and trading of bonds, equity-linked instruments and primary and secondary equity. We also advise on tender offers, share repurchases, refinancings and USPP programmes.

Corporate Trust

We provide cross-border support to corporate trust and agency clients, across high-yield bonds, leveraged finance, structured finance, CLOs, securitisations, Islamic finance, project finance and digital securities.

Our team supports clients through the entire transaction lifecycle—covering defaults, restructurings, litigation, liability management and the exercise of trustee powers.

Financial Services

We advise financial institutions and market participants on complex regulatory challenges and strategic opportunities across global markets. We advise on all aspects of bank regulation, from licensing and compliance to capital structuring, recovery planning and the launch of new products and services.

We support broker-dealers and engage with regulators on licensing, capital requirements, trading practices, business expansion and cross-border service delivery across Europe, the U.S. and Asia Pacific.
