Infrastructure and Project Finance

Infrastructure and Project Finance 

Our Infrastructure and Project Finance team sets the pace for the energy industry in the region.

We have built a strong reputation for advising developers, investors, lenders and other participants in infrastructure transactions.  We have successfully advised stakeholders on all aspects of infrastructure projects from inception to financing and implementation, often in challenging circumstances. Many of the projects on which the team has advised have been groundbreaking in terms of the particular type of infrastructure in question and the financing backing the project.
