Infrastructure, Energy, Resources and Projects - Finance

The infrastructure, energy, resources and projects deals that we cover in our team is broader in scope and more relevant to the real world now than it ever has been and the value and market for these skills is greater than it has been in the 25 years since we did the first pathfinder deals in this area at legacy Hogan Lovells.

Hogan Lovells Cadwalader’s Infrastructure, Energy, Resources and Projects (“IERP”) practice is one of the largest and most diverse in the world, operating out of 18 offices. In recent years, our global team has advised on more than US$250bn of closed infrastructure and project finance deals.

Financing infrastructure, energy, resources and projects has been a booming sector globally over the last decade or two and provided fascinating work for our team as well as team growth, promotion and progression opportunities. The market's growth trajectory looks set to continue over the next 20 years and our plan is to grow our practice and team significantly too.

We regularly represent project sponsors, investors, lenders & financial institutions, funds, contractors, insurers, sovereigns and governments on some of the world’s largest and most challenging projects in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States.

The Banking IERP team principally focusses on the financing aspects of the transactions.  We assist clients on a wide range of domestic, European and international infrastructure, energy, resources and project finance work across a broad spread of industry sectors (including renewables, power, clean energy, utilities, transport, defence, healthcare, mining, oil and gas and digital) and across the full lifecycle of assets, including many of the most innovative projects to come to the market. The team covers everything from acquisition finance, project finance, PPPs, portfolio financings, fund financings, as well as corporate finance, refinancing and restructuring work. We have a reputation for successfully closing even the most complex deals.
