She is an English qualified lawyer, specialising in banking and finance law and, in particular, property, project and trade finance. Karen advises clients on syndicated, bilateral and intra-group lending, secured and unsecured.
The complex finance structures used in international property finance and other loan transactions mean that Karen is not only involved in the main bank credit facilities, but also the intra-group lending structures through which funds advanced to off-shore borrowers are on-lent to Russian companies.
