OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Government Incentives and Strategic Investment Support

  1. Why Public Support Always Comes With Conditions

    Public support can materially improve the economics of a new facility, technology project, infrastructure investment or market expansion, but it usually comes with conditions that affect how the business may operate after funding is received.

  2. Identifying and Evaluating Available Support Programs

    We assist clients in identifying and evaluating available support programs and understanding the legal obligations associated with them.

  3. The Obligations That Typically Come Attached

    These obligations may include minimum investment levels, employment commitments, project milestones, domestic production or sourcing requirements, reporting obligations, ownership restrictions, limitations on transfers and repayment or clawback mechanisms if conditions are not satisfied.

  4. Negotiating Investment Agreements With Public Authorities

    We advise on the negotiation and documentation of investment agreements, grant arrangements and other commitments entered into with public authorities.

  5. Coordinating Public Support With Private Financing

    Where government support forms part of a larger financing package, our Regulatory lawyers work with Averites’ Banking & Finance and Investments & Capital Markets teams to ensure that public funding conditions are compatible with private financing, corporate governance and future transaction plans.

  6. Ongoing Compliance and Restructuring

    We also advise on compliance throughout the life of the supported project and on amendments or restructurings where the original investment assumptions change.

  7. Evaluating Incentives by Their Obligations, Not Just Their Value

    Government incentives should be evaluated not only by the amount of support offered, but by the obligations they impose and the extent to which those obligations may restrict future business decisions.
