Sonnenschein's Islamic Finance and Investment Group advises investment funds, banks and other financial institutions and high-net-worth individuals who seek to raise and invest capital in compliance with Islamic law (
Shari'ah). We are particularly committed to working with
Shari'ah scholars to explore and respect the nuances of Islamic law and to build common ground amongst all transactional participants, regardless of their faith. Two of our partners, including the Chair of the Islamic Finance and Investment Group, were senior members of the legal team honored by
Euromoney magazine as the "Best Global Islamic Finance Legal Advisor" for 2006-2007.
We have worked with clients from within and without the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council to achieve optimal investment returns utilizing
Shari'ah-compliant structures. We are committed to providing results-focused advice on the full range of
Shari'ah-complaint transactional activities, including securities offerings, real estate and infrastructure development, mergers and acquisitions, structured finance, and private equity and hedge fund formation.
In addition to its own team of lawyers, Sonnenschein has close working relationships with leading law firms throughout the Middle East and the world. These global relationships enable us to counsel not only clients who are active in the Americas, Europe and Asia, but also those who are based in, or expanding into, the Middle East and elsewhere in the greater Islamic world. With more than 700 lawyers and other professionals in 13 U.S. cities and Brussels, and a global reach, we are proud to serve the legal needs of many of the world's largest and best-known businesses, nonprofits, and individuals.
