Rami Serhal

Jump to:

I am a debt finance lawyer with experience in project finance and general corporate lending across a wide range of sectors including energy & renewables, infrastructure, manufacturing and real estate.

Before joining Fladgate, I spent four years at a development bank in London, as an associate counsel working on project finance, debt and equity finance deals. Prior to that I was based in Beirut, Lebanon where I was doing similar type of work across the region.

I advise on a wide range of finance transactions, both on the borrower and lender side, with a particular focus on energy & renewables, infrastructure, manufacturing and real estate.

I have a passion for development finance and I was able to experience first-hand its impact on people’s lives.

I am trilingual with the ability to draft and negotiate in English, French and Arabic. My language capabilities allowed me to work on deals across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

When I am not working I enjoy travelling and going on long road trips discovering new cities and places around the world. I also enjoy reading, mainly politics and autobiographies.
