OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Project Finance and Strategic Investments

  1. Why Project Finance Requires an Integrated Legal Framework

    These matters frequently involve substantial capital commitments, long development periods and complex relationships among investors, lenders, contractors, regulators and public authorities. The legal framework must therefore address corporate ownership, financing, construction, regulation and the allocation of long-term project risk together.

  2. Structuring Project Companies and Financing

    We advise on the establishment and governance of project companies and special purpose vehicles, sponsor and shareholder arrangements, equity contributions, debt financing, guarantees and security packages, conditions precedent and the relationship between project financing and the underlying commercial contracts.

  3. Sectors We Work In

    Our experience extends to projects in infrastructure, energy, real estate, industrial development and other capital-intensive sectors. We advise on acquisitions and investments in existing projects as well as the development of new projects from the structuring and financing stage onward.

  4. Construction and Development Documentation

    Construction and development arrangements are often central to project economics. We advise on engineering, procurement and construction contracts, development agreements, supply contracts, project management arrangements and other documentation governing project delivery and risk allocation.

  5. Public-Private Partnerships and Government-Backed Projects

    Averites also advises on public-private partnerships, concessions and projects involving governments, municipalities, state-owned enterprises and international financial institutions. These matters may require careful coordination of investment agreements, government support, procurement requirements, regulatory approvals and contractual protections against changes affecting the project.

  6. Treaty Protection for Cross-Border Projects

    For significant cross-border projects, we also consider whether the investment structure may benefit from treaty protection or other mechanisms designed to mitigate sovereign and regulatory risk.

  7. Restructuring When Project Conditions Change

    Where project economics, financing conditions or investor relationships change, we advise on restructuring project companies, financing arrangements and material contracts. If disagreements develop into formal disputes, our project lawyers work closely with Averites’ International Arbitration and Litigation practices.
