Project Finance

Big projects need big financing. We help clients finance major projects from start to finish.

We offer comprehensive and tailored legal support to participants in complex infrastructure deals.

Whether you’re a lender, arranger, underwriter, borrower, government agency, or multilateral institution, we bring cross-border capabilities, deep sector insight, and strategic acumen to transactions across energy, infrastructure, transportation, water, telecommunications, and mining and minerals. 

The team operates on an integrated basis with project finance lawyers in offices throughout the U.S., and in London, Paris, the Middle East, and Singapore. We’re involved in projects that combine construction, operation, management, and permanent financing. Many of these financings use interest rate swaps and other derivative transactions, limited parent guarantees, mezzanine and subordinated debt, and various other types of credit support. 
 
Advising on all aspects of a transaction, we leverage knowledge and experience from our tax, corporate, structured finance, real estate, and regulatory practices to deliver integrated advice throughout a transaction.
