Project Development and Finance
Project development and finance is one of our major areas of specialization. We are experienced project development legal counsels, specifically in the energy, construction, chemicals, metals and mining, and infrastructure sectors. These sectors have been going through a radical transformation through years following many landmark privatization deals and a complete revamping of the regulatory environment. More stringent environmental requirements are also making these sectors prone to tremendous business risk. Therefore, contingencies need to be considered for future development.
We represent sponsors, lenders, contractors, and government agencies involved in major energy, real estate, infrastructure, and transportation projects, including the development, financing and construction of roads, highways, ports, bridges, hospitals and other major infrastructure projects, privatization models, and various PPP projects. We provide a full range of leading edge contentious and non-contentious regulatory, commercial, and transactional advice in these areas.
We advise on domestic and international projects across all areas of the energy industry, covering upstream project development, pipelines, refineries, petrochemicals, power projects and renewables. We act on all aspects of the power business, including development, construction, operation, financing, regulation, acquisition, and disposition. Our lawyers bring their in-depth industry knowledge with respect to energy to addressing and mitigating various legal and regulatory risks involved in complex transactions. Our advisory services in the renewable energy segment include hydro, solar, wind power, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and waste-to-fuel transactions. We also counsel mining and metals companies on large-scale projects as well as acquisitions and disposals.
