Our world-class project finance team has extensive experience around the globe advising on some of the largest and most complex project developments and limited recourse financings in the energy and infrastructure sectors. We have experience advising on limited recourse financings involving almost all major international financial institutions (including ECAs, DFIs, and MLAs), advising in respect of project bonds, Islamic financings (including sukuk), and many key commercial banks. Our holistic, one-stop business solution, coupled with our overarching commitment to delivering success for our clients, makes us first choice for leading energy and infrastructure companies worldwide.
With our commitment to supporting clients with developing, financing, constructing, and operating major infrastructure projects and facilities and buying, selling, and investing in infrastructure assets and enterprises, we have the deep knowledge necessary to understand risk allocation necessary for an appropriately structured project financing. We understand the contractual, statutory, and practical mechanics and dynamics associated with long-term, limited recourse single-asset financings and we know how to structure projects to attract financial institutions and the investment banking community, while preserving the interests of the sponsors and project.
Clients benefit from our extensive on-the-ground execution capabilities in Asia and the United States.
