Druces LLP

Drawing upon the expertise of a number of Islamic finance practitioners and also able to leverage resources from the broader corporate, finance and real estate practice groups, Druces LLP continues to advise a fairly balanced mix of banks, funds, high-net-worth individuals and corporates across a broad swathe of Shariah-compliant structures. Corporate head Christopher Axford is central to much of this work, including advice on Murabaha transactions and a growing amount of sukuk issuances. Antony Cotton and Suzanne Middleton-Lindsley co-head the practice alongside Axford, with both handling a raft of real estate financings including for the team's flagship client, a British Shariah-compliant bank.
