- Our approach
Our approach to project finance
We provide end-to-end legal support on the structuring, negotiation, and execution of project finance transactions across key sectors including energy, transport, water, and social infrastructure. Our approach is aligned with international best practices while tailored to the regulatory and commercial realities of emerging markets, especially within Africa. Whether acting for sponsors, lenders, or public sector clients, we bring clarity and rigour to complex financial structures.
Our team advises on risk allocation, bankability, and security arrangements across various financing models, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), build-operate-transfer (BOT), and concession-based frameworks. We have experience reviewing and drafting project documents such as loan agreements, direct agreements, government support packages, and inter-creditor arrangements. Our familiarity with multilateral institutions, export credit agencies, and development finance mechanisms enables us to guide clients through multi-layered transactions.
We also play a critical role during project due diligence and financial close, helping clients navigate regulatory approvals, procurement processes, and lender requirements. With a deep understanding of sector-specific challenges and policy environments, we support projects from concept to execution—ensuring legal soundness, operational feasibility, and long-term viability.
