Project Finance

Roads, schools, athletic facilities, court buildings, harbors, private industrial plants and building complexes – state-of-the-art infrastructure forms the backbone of modern economies. 
The involved assets are often organized and financed as independent projects. Common standards regarding structure, procedures, contracts and finance have developed in the course of national and international project finance activities. These standards serve as guidelines which the large number of parties sometimes involved in such projects (sponsors, technical advisers, banks, mutual funds, government licensing officials, guarantors, construction companies, operators, users and customers) can use to bring the work to a successful conclusion. 

For years now, our law firm has helped structure and implement projects conducted on the basis of project finance, structured finance and public-private-partnership models.
