Project, Energy and Infrastructure Finance

You gain a team that works alongside you to navigate complex financing structures, manage risk and deliver successful outcomes across global energy and infrastructure projects.

Eversheds Sutherland’s worldwide Project, Energy and Infrastructure Finance practice advises developers, sponsors, lenders, investors and other participants across the full spectrum of transactions including domestic and cross-border project financings, acquisition financings, public-private partnerships, tax equity transactions and related corporate and structured finance matters.

We work with the developers, utilities, investors and lenders to help you move projects forward.

We provide you with a deep bench of experience on all aspects of project development and finance, drawing on the firm’s global network of tax, M&A, real estate, regulatory, construction, commercial contracts and environmental specialists to assess a project’s risk allocation and financeability to drive successful closings.

Our practice spans clean energy technologies such as solar, wind, battery storage, carbon capture, geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, as well as gas-fired power generation, upstream and midstream infrastructure such as pipelines and LNG facilities, petrochemicals, toll roads, water desalination and treatment and mining infrastructure.

In addition to fluency in multiple languages such as Spanish and Portuguese, you receive support from a team fluent in multi-sourced financings involving export credit agencies, multilateral development institutions, development finance institutions, and international commercial banks, with particular strength in cross-border transactions across Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, North America and Eurasia. 

You benefit from the structure we can provide in a variety of project financing arrangements, from traditional mini-perm or long-term secured and unsecured debt, multiple-lien financings and bridge loans to tax equity and IRA-driven financing structures, vendor and supplier financings, subordinate debt and hedge and offtake arrangements. Our team is equally at home advising investment banks, project sponsors, private capital financiers, multilateral and export credit agency lenders, major corporations and cooperative utilities on their most complex financing needs.
