What the Team is Known For

Linklaters operates an outstanding practice group that is often mandated on major transactions by all types of project parties, including some of Africa's largest project financing matters. The firm advises sponsors and lenders on high profile energy and infrastructure projects as well as handling a range of related corporate matters. Linklaters possesses significant strength in oil and gas, acting on a number of large-scale upstream and LNG projects. Additionally, the team advises on notable mining and renewables mandates. Demonstrating a strong presence in the anglophone, francophone and lusophone markets, the practice is bolstered by the firm's extensive network across the continent, most significantly by its alliance with Webber Wentzel in South Africa.

Work Highlights

  • Linklaters assisted Africa Finance Corporation with the development and financing of the Lobito Corridor railway project, involving the construction of some 800km of greenfield railway line between the port of Lobito in Angola and various resource-rich areas in Zambia and the DRC.
