The banking team at Abreu has a solid reputation in the market and has a good string of mandates from both the bank and company sides.

In an example of the former, the team acted for Banco Espirito Santo Angola on the structuring of a number of mortgage backed loans. Coming in at a combined value of $500 million, the deal saw the team act with local law firm FBL Advogados.

On the capital markets side, the wider Banco Espirito Santo Group (BES Group) also called in the team to advise on various derivatives transactions and finance linked swaps for the likes of Galp and RAVE TGV.

Private placements were also on the team's agenda and Miguel de Avillez Pereira acted for various US institutional investors on the private placement of shares in Cimpor.
