Global Energy & Infrastructure Projects
McDermott Will & Emery’s Global Energy & Infrastructure Projects Practice Group provides clients with an integrated and multi-jurisdictional approach to all their project development and financing requirements, including structuring, foreign investment, tax, contracts, competition and corporate legal issues. The group advises an extensive range of clients, including publicly traded industrial enterprises, privately owned entities, funds, financial institutions and host governments. Our clients include developers and sponsors, with a particular focus on strategic investors and operators of new and existing infrastructure businesses, in both developed and emerging markets.
Private investment in infrastructure has accelerated significantly over the past several years, marked by an expansion of the type of infrastructure assets available to the market and new parties in the sector. Exponential growth has occurred in the number of projects undertaken by strategic investors and international funds that are now critical players in several industry sectors throughout the world. Much of the Firm’s project work is focused on oil and gas, power, mining, alternative energy, medical facilities, toll roads and ports.
The group’s broad range of experience transcends multinational and single jurisdiction project development and finance transactions. We represent lead lenders, investors and developers in projects throughout Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Our lawyers have gained many years of experience advising clients on a broad range of matters within this complex area. We routinely draw on our practical experience and commercial understanding, together with our substantive legal knowledge, to work in partnership with our clients to realize their goals in this dynamic and evolving sector. The sophisticated corporate, finance and foreign direct investment skills of our lawyers ensure that project objectives are achieved and complex business issues resolved with alacrity.
The group is fully integrated with the Firm’s global finance, corporate and regulatory practices. We have offices across the United States, Europe and Asia, giving clients access to individuals with impressive and relevant local knowledge, cultural sensitivities and first rate legal acumen.
