Project Finance & Infrastructure Law

Supporting the financing and structuring of large-scale infrastructure and development projects.

Overview

We support the financing and structuring of large-scale infrastructure and development projects. Our expertise lies in aligning complex legal frameworks with the rigorous requirements of international and local lenders.

Infrastructure projects are defined by their risk allocation and financial complexity. We advise on Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), EPC contracts, and the security packages necessary to bring multi-billion dollar projects to financial close.

Strategic Approach

We take a project-focused approach, working as part of the project team from the initial feasibility stage through to financial close and beyond. We coordinate all legal aspects of the project, including structuring, documentation, and regulatory compliance.

Our team has extensive experience in PPP frameworks, concession agreements, and limited recourse financing structures. We work closely with financial advisors, technical consultants, and insurers to develop comprehensive risk allocation frameworks. We are skilled at managing the complex interplay between project documents, financing documents, and security packages.
