Our Clients do a mix of project, acquisition and corporate finance in the areas of infrastructure, energy/renewables, resources and energy storage. They have a deep understanding of project finance transactions and the everyday operation of energy and infrastructure assets globally.
The teams role goes beyond simply advising on the financing of a project and extends to strategic advice and analysis, and the structuring, planning and documentation aspects of transactions but includes the financing and project development of traditional power and renewable energy transactions both in Australia and the UK. It includes advising clients on greenfield developments for infrastructure and energy assets as well as acquisitions and divestments of such assets.
Renewable Energy projects include onshore and offshore wind, solar and biomass projects and extends to advising on emerging technologies, low carbon projects and the energy transition, including energy from waste projects, battery energy storage systems, pumped hydro projects, electric vehicles and charging infrastructure as well as hydrogen projects.
In this role you will act for both financiers and sponsors on a range of multi-jurisdictional transactions across the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
