Project Finance and Development Practice Attorneys

Understanding Project Finance and Development

Project finance and development transactions represent a significant area of legal expertise, particularly for large-scale infrastructure, energy, and real estate projects. These projects often involve complex financing structures, lengthy timelines, and significant regulatory scrutiny. Our practice focuses on providing legal support to clients involved in these endeavors, ensuring successful project delivery and minimizing potential risks.

We understand the unique challenges associated with project finance, which typically relies on the project’s own cash flows to repay debt rather than the sponsors’ creditworthiness. This requires a meticulous approach to structuring the financing, drafting security agreements, and managing the complex relationships between sponsors, lenders, contractors, and other stakeholders. Our team leverages extensive experience in this area to guide clients through every stage of the project, from initial feasibility studies and project structuring to closing and ongoing operational support.
