Project Finance
We recognise the challenges faced by the project finance sector in recent years, be this due to regulatory banking changes following the financial crisis or the general shift in market conditions. Our approach is to provide seamless cross department advice, operating as one unified team, rather than operating in distinct silos, spanning all relevant sectors, disciplines and practise groups, ensuring the clients always benefit from comprehensive, coordinated and market leading advice.
Why choose our Project Finance lawyers?
We have particular experience advising lenders (including, though not limited to, development finance institutions, export credit agencies, investment and commercial banks), sponsors, developers and equity investors in the arrangement, structuring, negotiation and completion of complex project finance transactions.
Our team are experts in all aspects of limited resource lending and well-placed to provide project finance advice in respect of projects of all descriptions.
Notable deals and highlights
