He has a reputation for advising on innovative, “market-first” transactions around the world, particularly multi-sourced financings, including those involving multilateral and export credit agencies and Islamic institutions. He has advised on some of the most complex Shariah-compliant structured, leveraged and project finance transactions, as well as on sukuk issuances and Islamic finance restructurings.

Munib Hussain is a member of the firm’s Islamic Finance Business Unit. He has broad experience in advising lenders, sponsors and sovereigns on international projects, energy and infrastructure financings, and restructurings involving ECAs, multilaterals, and commercial and Islamic banks.

Both Mr. Dewar and Mr. Hussain recently advised the managers on the $1.5 billion first-of-a-kind project sukuk issuance by TMS Issuer S.à r.l for the refinancing of a bridge facility entered into in connection with GreenSaif’s acquisition of a minority stake in Aramco Gas Pipelines Company, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabian Oil Company.
