1 Microfinance and social investment 2012
2 2 Microfinance and social investment 2012 Our microfinance and social investment group At Allen & Overy, we believe that we influence the wider communities in which we live and work and must ensure that our influence is a positive one. Our microfinance and social investment practice encompasses more than 300 lawyers located in over 30 offices across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and includes many of the leading practitioners in our key practice groups including banking, capital markets, corporate and dispute resolution. The team has advised on a number of microfinance-related transactions and prides itself on being able to provide real and much-needed solutions helping to transform businesses in developing economies. Our clients include microfinance institutions (MFIs), banks, private investors and institutional investors. Whether on a pro bono or fee-paying basis, we aim to handle every case in exactly the same way - with professionalism and care. The team has also supported and advised a number of social enterprises in several jurisdictions. On the social investment side, we have been involved in advising Social Finance Limited on its Social Impact Bonds (SIB), a unique investment product, structured as a fund, that directs private-sector money to fund public-sector projects. In this case, the investment provides funding for a prisoner rehabilitation programme at Peterborough Prison in Cambridgeshire, creating a potential financial return to the investors that is dependent on levels of recidivism in the prisoner group. Legal fees for negotiating and setting up the Social Finance prisoner programme could have run into hundreds of thousands of pounds, a particularly significant amount when measured against a fundraising target of GBP5m. To make the project a reality, Allen & Overy stepped in to donate over 1,500 hours of legal advice on a pro bono basis, to help Social Finance craft and negotiate the SIB. The investment product has been enthusiastically accepted by investors, the Ministry of Justice and HM Treasury and has the potential to be used in many jurisdictions around the world as an example of groundbreaking social finance funding. Members of the group are also currently involved in several financial inclusion initiatives, providing services to a number of disadvantaged individuals and communities in. 300 Number of lawyers making a difference GBP3.5m Value of our pro bono legal advice on microfinance matters over the past three years GBP14.12m Pro bono advice in FY2011 Allen & Overy LLP 2012
3 3 Microfinance A multi-disciplinary microfinance team The depth and breadth of our global team means we are uniquely placed to advise on any aspect of microfinance deals. In particular, we are capable of providing innovative solutions in the following areas: Capital Markets & Structured Finance We have led the way in opening the capital markets to MFIs. By enabling the microfinance sector to tap into the international capital markets on a brand new scale, and by advancing a new asset class for investors, these deals offer a way out of the poverty trap for thousands of people by helping them to help themselves. Derivatives We have a world leading derivatives practice uniquely placed to develop innovative solutions to bridge the gap between currencies in which funding is raised and local currencies of MFIs. Banking Our banking practice has applied its cross-border finance expertise to assist a range of clients including MFIs, governmental agencies, charities and nongovernmental organisations in local regulatory matters and fundraising transactions for the purpose of on-lending to micro-entrepreneurs around the globe. Corporate Corporate needs of MFIs and NGOs are multidimensional. We have extensive experience assisting these organisations on all aspects of corporate matters, from risk management to structuring equity investments. Tax Our global tax practice has advised on tax structuring for microfinance funds in order to allow for an efficient flow of funds (for example regarding the mitigation of withholding taxes) and has also been involved in industry discussions regarding the tax status of microfinance activities in some jurisdictions. Employment & Incentives We have provided employment advice to MFIs in relation to hiring policies in various jurisdictions and have represented MFIs in employment-related matters. We have also advised on incentive arrangements for employees, for example, in relation to the structure of employee stock ownership plans for the employees of a joint stock company.
4 4 Microfinance and social investment 2012 Microfinance Our global reach CHF International OXUS Development Network We advised on the review of proposed memorandum of association and articles of association of a new holding company.

MEMCC makes loans to low and moderate income families in Jordan.
