Overview

Creative, innovative and structured financial solutions are vital to any large-scale project. Ensuring you have legal advice you can trust is key to the management of risk and reward and securing your success. Our lawyers have a proven track record across the project finance lifecycle and can advise on all aspects of your financing needs.

The need to invest in the UK's infrastructure is more pressing than ever before. The objective of achieving net zero by 2050 (2045 in Scotland) as well as our growing and ageing population requires increasing development and investment. As urban regeneration is decarbonised and made smart, the ability to manage the interplay between industries such as energy, transport, telecommunications and housing will become vital.

Acting for both sponsors and funders, we structure finance solutions across numerous sectors. Whether helping clients finance projects in new jurisdictions or brokering international deals covering multiple regions, we offer seamless legal advice built on real knowledge and experience.

We believe clients always benefit from a cross-practice approach. Our project finance lawyers work closely with professionals in other areas such as financial services, M&A and capital markets, and procurement, to seamlessly manage all aspects of transactions and identify and mitigate any potential risks. Our lawyers have been at the forefront of the renewed international focus on projects, public-private partnerships and infrastructure development, and have acted in some of the world's most significant and complex projects.

Our project finance lawyers act for a broad range of clients, from project sponsors, investment funds and institutional lenders to construction companies and government and public sector stakeholders at every level. We view projects from every angle and pursue the best-possible approach for the circumstances, taking the time to structure sector-focused bespoke finance solutions tailored to your specific needs.
