Global Loans

Epstein Rosenblum Maoz (ERM) provides transactional and advisory services to lenders, borrowers, credit enhancers and arranging banks in relation to a broad range of financing facilities, including syndicated and bilateral lending, refinancing and recapitalisations, acquisition and leveraged finance, trade finance and real estate financing.

Our lawyers have led some of the largest and most complex global loans in Israel and abroad, and have acted for many of the leading players in the international and local arenas, including commercial and investment banks, private equity houses and corporate borrowers.

Structured finance

Epstein Rosenblum Maoz (ERM) has expertise in securitisations, derivative transactions (including swaps, credit derivatives, repos, stock lending, FX products and equity-based derivatives) and tax-driven schemes.

Our lawyers have worked at the cutting edge of structured finance and have gained valuable experience structuring and implementing innovative and complex structured products. This enables us to devise flexible solutions that reflect the changing needs of our clients.

The quality and experience of our lawyers is particularly important against the background of the rapid process of legislative liberalisation Israel currently undergoes.  This process, aimed at locally facilitating some of the most advanced structured products available in the most sophisticated jurisdictions, revolutionises the Israeli financial markets.  Our lawyers have been asked to comment on these legislative developments and they remain at the forefront of this ever-evolving field. 

Asset finance

Drawing together our lawyers' experience and skills in the areas of banking, capital markets, structured finance, projects, real estate and mergers and acquisitions, we offer our clients first-rate advice on the financing of both particular assets and entire portfolios.

Our lawyers are versed in the principal financing techniques used in the international and local-Israeli asset finance industries, and have worked on the most complex transactions in which innovative financing solutions were required, as well as on market-standard financing transactions, including aviation financing and financing of rolling stock.

Regulation of financial markets

Epstein Rosenblum Maoz (ERM) offers companies, financial institutions, investors and insurance companies first-rate advice in relation to the regulation of the financial markets in Israel.

As the Israeli financial markets on the one side, and regulators on the other, become increasingly sophisticated, there is a growing need for solid regulatory advice. Our lawyers have in-depth understanding of the intricacies of the Israeli regulatory infrastructure and they have advised major local and international clients in respect of the various regulatory requirements of doing business in Israel. 

We offer specific advice on the licensing, registration, and filing requirements for financial institutions (including fund managers, banks, insurers and similar organisations) offering financial services or products in Israel or to Israelis.

Clients and assignments 

Our lawyers have acted for major international and Israeli clients such as ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Capio AB, Heron International Limited, Citi, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and others.
