Infrastructure & energy finance

Our infrastructure & energy finance team is a cornerstone of our infrastructure & energy sector

Our specialist energy and infrastructure finance lawyers act for both borrowers and lenders on a range of transactions.

We provide an end-to-end service - from pre-credit approval structuring and negotiation of term sheets, through to drafting and negotiating key project finance documents such as facility, security, intercreditor, and direct agreements.

Our finance team works closely with sector-focused specialists and has deep experience in delivering project documentation for sponsors - including planning, real estate, construction, feedstock and offtake contracts, and navigating applicable regulatory frameworks. We also support lenders with comprehensive due diligence across all project contracts.

Our expertise spans a broad range of technologies, including wind (with experience in Scotland and Northern Ireland), solar, fuelled renewables, energy from waste, data centres and hybrid infrastructure such as telecoms. We advise on a variety of financing structures, including project finance, acquisition finance, asset-based finance, and refinancing of energy and infrastructure assets.
