Client successes
We advised Barwa Bank in Qatar, a sharia-compliant financial institution, on its merger with International Bank of Qatar (IBQ), a financial institution that undertakes conventional banking activities.
The deal created a leading sharia-compliant financial institution with total assets of more than $22bn, and was the first bank merger to take place in Qatar since the introduction of the new Qatari commercial companies law in 2015.
This landmark transaction sets a unique precedent for sharia-compliant financial institutions in the region considering potential mergers as part of the recent move towards bank consolidation.
