Project Finance

Deep expertise in highly leveraged, capital-intensive complex structures

Hands on, highly-tailored solutions for each aspect of a project financing.

Each project financing has a unique risk profile with multiple contractual arrangements intended to allocate risk to the party best suited to manage it. They have many financing participants playing an integral role in executing a true, non-recourse project financing structure.

What We Do

Through the life of these long-term financing projects, our team works hand-in-hand with our clients in managing deal teams, overseeing extensive project documentation, developing complex cashflow models to support project operations, negotiating with lenders and external stakeholders and structuring the most cost-effective, efficient financing based on the strength of the project and its contractual underpinnings.
