Our lawyers are among the world's most experienced and offer industry-specific knowledge as well as "boots on the ground" coverage in Africa and beyond.  We work with lenders, financial institutions, multilateral institutions, sponsors, equity investors, contractors, governments, and parastatals to develop, finance, construct, and operate a diverse range of capital-intensive projects and facilities. With a market-leading reputation for delivering complex power projects and related multi-source financing in emerging markets, our experience covers renewables (including wind, solar, hydro, energy-from-waste, biomass, and biofuels), in addition to power plants fuelled by natural gas, petroleum, transmission networks and distribution systems.
