Nicola Jackson and William Reichert enjoyed collaborating with The Oath Legal Magazine and LexisNexis Middle East at the recent GC Talk Series event. They led an engaging and informative session on the dynamic landscape of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in the UAE. The session provided a comprehensive overview of the UAE NPL market, offering attendees a chance to explore the intricacies of structuring NPL transactions and how to mitigate enforcement risk, particularly in the context of the 2023 amendments to the UAE Banking Law. Our experts delved into the importance of thorough due diligence, the nuances of deal documentation, and the key considerations that can make or break a successful NPL deal. Participants also gained valuable insights into the potential challenges and pitfalls that can arise throughout the transaction process. The discussion extended to post-closing strategies and enforcement considerations, ensuring a holistic view of the NPL journey from start to finish, and was rounded off by audience participation of the best kind: a quiz!
