We are the leading practice in sub-Saharan Africa in energy, resources, utilities and infrastructure. We have extensive experience in the power sector, specifically thermal, hydro and renewable power.
Our project finance lawyers have in-depth experience in structured financings on a limited recourse basis or with limited recourse features, whether involving bilateral or multi-lateral lending arrangements and or multi-source financings including export credit guarantees and financings.
Whether working independently as lead counsel for the lenders or for the project sponsors, or as local or co-counsel in co-operation with international counsel as lead lender or project counsel, we are able to provide end-to-end legal expertise to meet and promote clients’ needs.
A key driver of our success is our ability to assemble and integrate teams with skills across the entire project finance transaction.
We have a dedicated and specialised oil and gas offering with English, French and South African qualified, industry-experienced oil and gas lawyers. Our unique selling point is our ability to provide the whole range of services required in the context of an oil and gas acquisition in Africa: domestic oil and gas law in various jurisdictions in Africa for the initial structuring and the diligence review and English Law for the acquisition documentation.
