Our team also has extensive experience in the organization and documentation of financing and guarantee mechanisms based on resources from project operations, including governmental guarantees, which are typical in these types of transactions.

We notably combine our transactional strengths with strategic litigation capabilities and unique expertise in financial regulation, environment, antitrust and real estate.

We are particularly experienced in the energy sector, in which we frequently participate in upstream, midstream and downstream oil & gas projects (pipelines, compression stations, offshore platforms, petrochemical plants) and power projects (power plants, renewable energy projects). Our practice also regularly advises on urban infrastructure projects (waste management, water treatment plants), social infrastructure projects (governmental offices, hospitals and correctional facilities), transportation projects (toll roads, railroads, ports and airports), telecommunications facilities and other government-owned infrastructure projects.

We represent all participants in infrastructure projects: sponsors, project companies, financial institutions (commercial and development banks), private equity funds, multilateral agencies, governmental entities, export credit agencies, insurers and contractors. We have a strong record of accomplishment in advising governmental entities in bidding guideline design, instrumentation, negotiation and drafting of project agreements, as well as during all stages of the bidding process and until concession titles and contracts are awarded. On the other hand, we have represented companies during bidding processes, financing and construction of projects, and operational legalities.
