Financial Services

Our lawyers advise some of the largest financial services companies and institutions in Rwanda on both their day-to-day operations and wider strategic objectives. 

We help our clients contend with legal issues in banking – including restructurings, regulatory demands and the compliance costs that have come with reform. 

Our clients include asset managers, capital markets and their participants, investment banks, national regulators, private banks, private equity firms, professional services organizations engaged principally in financial services and retail banks. In addition, we regularly work with retail intermediaries on the legal issues involved in the selling of financial services to consumers.

Experience has included advising:

  • Several financial institutions on perfecting security interests and mortgages on assets in Rwanda.
  • Several financial institutions on restructuring of their facilities to Rwandan borrowers.
  • Several financial institutions on due diligence issues relating to Rwandan borrowers.
