The Maples Group is pleased to announce that it has once again been recognised at the 2019 IFLR Middle East awards that were held at the Burj Al Arab earlier this month. The awards which attract over 180 market participants and legal practitioners celebrate the most influential corporate finance deals over the past 12 months.
Maples and Calder, the Maples Group's law firm was part of the team who received the award for Debt and Equity Linked Deal of the Year.
The deal which was described as a 'first-its-kind' was in relation to NMC Healthcare's sukuk and represents the first public capital markets transaction from a healthcare provider in the MENA region and the first USD denominated sukuk by a healthcare provider globally.
