Overview: This paper examines the relation between legal risk - defined as the strength and enforcement of creditors' rights - and debt ownership concentration to understand the various governance roles played by banks as large creditors. Using a sample of 495 project finance loan tranches to borrowers in 61 different countries, the paper documents high absolute levels of debt ownership concentration: the largest single bank holds 20.3% while the top five banks collectively hold 61.2% of a typical loan tranche.
