  • We provide strategic and innovative legal advice, combining deep technical knowledge and multidisciplinary experience to enable sophisticated infrastructure financing operations.

    Our specialized team advises clients across all infrastructure sectors, providing comprehensive support in the structuring and implementation of financing solutions for large-scale projects.

    We work alongside sponsors, investment funds, financial institutions, export credit agencies, development banks, and multilateral organizations, from the definition of the funding strategy through the full structuring of the financing package. Our services include, among other matters, the preparation of bankability reports, contractual risk allocation matrices, and the negotiation of the documentation required to secure multi-source financing, including finance documents, security instruments, intercreditor arrangements, and common terms agreements.

    We also advise clients on the drafting and negotiation of the project agreements to drive bankability, including those relating to initial CAPEX, helping to mitigate risk and strengthen the project’s financing structure.
    In addition, we advise on financings, restructurings, refinancings, and waiver requests for greenfield and brownfield infrastructure projects.
