We understand the need for legal advisers to recognise and distinguish between the issues and risks presented  in the energy and infrastructure  sectors, as well as the solutions to mitigate against them. We approach each assignment with experienced multi-disciplinary teams that combine our financing expertise with the experience of our industry-sector specialists. We always seek to use our knowledge of current lending requirements and investor desires to maximise the outcome for our clients.

Our team has advised banking syndicates and project sponsors on many energy and infrastructure projects in the UK and overseas. The following is a selection of projects on which we have advised:
