Andrew Green

Examples of structures he works on regularly include facility agreements (bilateral and syndicated), prepayment agreements, receivables discounting agreements, repos and inventory financing, as well as associated documents such as sale and purchase contracts, guarantees, intercreditor agreements and a variety of security documents.

Alongside traditional trade finance work, Andrew has developed experience in the emerging areas of trade digitalisation and the carbon markets.

On the digitalisation of trade finance, Andrew has been involved in matters relating to the creation of digital platforms for the buying and selling of digital assets (such as “tokenised” physical commodities and carbon credits), advising on the rules applying to the “platform users” and the contractual documentation used by the platforms. In addition, he has advised clients on the developing legal treatment of electronic trade documents like electronic bills of lading.

He has gained extensive experience advising clients in relation to a variety of matters involving the carbon markets, both the compliance and voluntary carbon markets, with a focus on commercial agreements relating to the development of voluntary carbon credit projects (blending project finance elements with trade finance), as well as the associated sale of the carbon credits derived from those projects.
