Project Finance Advisory & Expertise

We help our clients design robust asset-based project structures that involve tailored allocations of risks and responsibilities to optimize financial viability. Our expertise also covers the development and negotiation of contractual and financial frameworks—such as PPAs and concessions—supported by detailed institutional structuring and financial modelling. This ensures projects are bankable, resilient, and well-positioned to attract investment.

We support the mobilization of capital across a broad spectrum of actors —from development finance institutions to commercial lenders, export credit agencies, infrastructure funds and strategic investors. We coordinate investor roadshows, prepare financial and marketing materials, and negotiate financial terms to align interests among stakeholders. By bridging public and private capital, we enable the delivery of impactful projects, including in emerging and frontier markets. With privileged access to the international finance community, we also ensure that projects of our clients secure the best capital options, whether from public or private sources, to thrive.

When infrastructure projects face unforeseen disruptions—macroeconomic shocks, regulatory shifts, or payment defaults—we work alongside stakeholders to restore financial balance and unlock value. Our support includes reviewing financial models and agreements, evaluating restructuring options, and coordinating negotiations. Our goal is to develop solutions that are commercially viable, balanced across stakeholders, and conducive to long-term success.

We guide clients in forming and negotiating strategic partnerships and joint ventures that catalyze growth and de-risk project development. Our services span target screening, commercial due diligence, deal structuring and negotiation. We deliver strategic insights and financial expertise to help our clients identify value, manage risks, and achieve successful outcomes.

We assist public entities in designing and implementing infrastructure development strategies that are ambitious, realistic, and financeable. This includes structuring public-private partnerships (PPPs), designing auction schemes, preparing investment frameworks, and advising on sovereign equity participation. We also act as advisors in negotiating and renegotiating contracts between the State and private entities, such as IPPs or mining concessions. With deep experience across Africa, Asia, and Europe, we help governments leverage private capital to deliver on their agendas.

In a rapidly decarbonizing world, we help clients maximize the financial value of positive environmental impacts. From structuring carbon funds to leveraging voluntary carbon markets, we advise on the monetization of carbon credits, the integration of climate resilience in project design, and the alignment of investment strategies with ESG goals. We support both public and private actors in accessing green finance instruments, including climate bonds and concessional funding from multilateral sources, structuring projects to meet the criteria of climate finance mechanisms and to attract investment.

In a landscape where disputes in the energy, infrastructure and mining sectors are increasingly shaped by the intricacies of project finance, we help clients navigate the financial dimensions that underpin international arbitration. From assessing whether a project remains financially viable under altered circumstances to untangling the complex interdependencies within project finance structures, we clarify the financial realities at the heart of disputes. We bring deep expertise in valuing projects within their capital structures, ensuring that the computation of damages accurately reflects the risks and financing arrangements that determine a project's true worth. By bridging the gap between financial feasibility, structure, and valuation, we enable clients to ground their arbitration strategy in robust financial analysis that withstands scrutiny and maximizes recoverable value.
