About

Provided by Gide Loyrette Nouel

Our practice dedicated to Projects and Project Finance is recognised as one of the most experienced in the market. We are able to deal with all legal and tax aspects throughout the life of a project, including its conception, financing, completion and operation, as well as the strategic stages of restructuring, refinancing, sale or termination, along with any resulting legal or arbitration disputes.

We operate on every continent in the infrastructure, energy (thermal, renewable and nuclear), natural resources (mining, oil and gas), environment, defence, aeronautics and space sectors. Our team, which frequently participates in the development of regulatory frameworks, benefits from an excellent knowledge of the markets in which it operates, particularly on the African continent through its offices and partners located throughout the continent.

We advise all the players involved in projects: public authorities, sponsors, developers, investment funds, banks, international financial institutions, etc.
