The transition to a carbon-neutral economy is a seismic shift, demanding investment in energy and infrastructure on a global scale. These large-scale projects require cross-border experience and the ability to devise tailored solutions to both domestic and international challenges. Our Project Finance team specialises in complex cross-border projects and finding innovative financing solutions. Working seamlessly with our colleagues in corporate, tax, environment and competition law, across 45 countries, we help clients to structure, acquire, finance and implement projects, and manage their investments, whether in developed, developing or transition countries.
Baker McKenzie has grown from the grass roots up and clients benefit from local insight in every step of financing a project, from drafting a bid to syndicating obligations to securing disbursement. Combining our transactional specialised capabilities and sector expertise, we deliver fully integrated legal services regardless of project location, scope and complexity.
We advise sponsors, developers, lenders (including development finance institutions, export credit agencies, commercial lenders and alternative financial institutions), investment funds, governments and governmental agencies on project financings across a wide range of sectors. This includes renewable energy, upstream and downstream oil and gas, conventional power, transportation, water and wastewater and social infrastructure. We have successfully assisted in transactions using various forms of limited recourse financing, capital markets issuances, Islamic finance, sustainable finance, lease structures and connected hedging arrangements.
