Project
finance law applies to the process of valuing, structuring, and funding large
public and private infrastructure and construction projects, such as light-rail
installations and airplane construction. Topics include
the economics of investing in developing countries, corporate governance,
energy funding, international finance, and risk management. Legal areas
involved may include environmental regulation, international trade, energy
regulation, tax, securitization, and mergers and acquisitions.
Parties involved in project-finance transactions
may include insurance companies, general contractors, credit providers,
government agencies, financial institutions, and corporations. Project
financing can involve multiple banks and lenders, with varying degrees of risk.
It is a complicated process, and with so much at stake it must be carefully
structured and documented.
