Micro Finance

Our founding partners contributed to the development of the legal framework for microfinance in Palestine as part of the team advising the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA) on laws and regulations for the sector. This experience informs our work on microfinance regulation, licensing and restructuring.

The firm acted as the legal counsel for the Arab Center for Agricultural Development (ACAD) and carried out the successful transformation of ACAD NGO which is the First Palestinian NGO to successfully carry out the transformation into a for profit micro finance Co, in accordance with the Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA) regulations for specialized lending institutions and successfully accomplished the licensing of ACAD Micro finance Co and the restructuring of the newly formed company working closely with the international shareholders including the European Investment Bank, Grameen Credit Agricole, Triple Jump and Solidarité Internationale pour le Développement et l’Investissement (SIDI). The firm still represents to date ACAD Finance and other MFIs in Palestine.
