Specialist project finance advice

Project and infrastructure finance is a specialist area that requires a combination of industry and market knowledge with legal and risk management expertise, as well as a sound grasp of the financial fundamentals.

We're not just here to provide a legal overview, we understand the deeper strategic, cultural and political factors that impact the markets. We also have access to key market contacts and decision makers in our key geographies. Our goal is to support our clients from a project's inception to expiry of the concession; through the whole lifecycle of the project.
