Project Finance

“Outstanding. Unparalleled breadth and depth, with a constant focus on what really matters to us.”
IFLR1000 2020

Project participants across the spectrum, including sponsors, lenders, government departments and procurement agencies, contractors, original equipment manufacturers and project concessionaires, rely on our team for their most complex project financings. We see the big picture – the unique commercial and political context of each project – and delve into the details. Working constructively with all involved, we keep the right results in constant focus.

We take on your most complex financings, often pursuing strategies that break new ground. From the Port of Miami Tunnel, one of the first greenfield projects in the U.S., to the first two hospital public-private partnerships in British Columbia, our team is at the forefront of these pioneering partnerships.

Drawing on our extensive experience across sectors, we help you navigate business issues and market conditions with agility and precision. And when your project crosses borders, we work closely with other leading firms as part of our broad international reach.
