  • Emerging markets - We continue to enjoy strong emerging markets workflow. We have developed a market leading practice in the Caribbean, working with, among others, the region's largest energy and infrastructure debt provider, FirstCaribbean International Bank.

  • Traditional energy - we continue to provide market-leading support to energy providers - and investors - who provide traditional energy, such as oil and gas, as they move towards a more sustainable and affordable offer.
