Energy finance is a specialist area that requires a combination of industry, regulatory and market knowledge with legal and risk management expertise, as well as a sound grasp of the financial fundamentals. With demand for power generation increasingly uppermost on the global agenda, investment in energy generation from renewable sources in particular has dramatically increased in recent years.

Our international team has a reputation for successfully delivering first-class support in all segments of the energy debt markets. We advise borrowers, sponsors, funds, banks, non-bank lenders and bond arrangers on all products, from bilateral and syndicated senior debt through to listed bonds and other debt capital markets products.

We have a market-leading European practice in renewable energy infrastructure, and members of our team have delivered finance to clean and traditional energy projects in Africa, the Middle East, South America, Asia and emerging markets.

We’re not just here to provide a legal overview, we understand the deeper strategic, cultural and political factors that impact the markets. We also have access to key market contacts and decision makers in our key geographies. Our goal is to support our clients from a project’s inception to expiry of the concession; through the whole lifecycle of the project.
