Competitors claim Charles Russell has not been visible on the market in the last 12 months but the firm has been mandated on some interesting deals.
One example saw Islamic finance specialist Nicholas Polley, advise Bahrain Islamic Bank as part of a syndicate that provided the $240 million financing of the Bahrain Financial Harbour.
Described as "a clients dream," by one, Polley is commended for his diligence and broad outlook: "He's got that great blend of international perspective and middle eastern knowledge," the client continues.
In an ongoing deal Polley is advising the potential syndicate to a shariah compliant project financing, on the basis of an istisna'a (shared risk) structure, for the construction of infrastructure and related assets at an international airport in the Mena (Middle East & North Africa) region.
In other notable work the firm were active for a local bank, advising on the restructuring and refinancing arrangements of an interbank lending facility, and negotiating and preparing a $20 million multicurrency revolving loan facility in connection with an Omani bank.
