Our leading Project Development and Finance practice is distinguished for designing and implementing bespoke and innovative solutions to address our clients’ needs, working closely with them to anticipate and resolve issues, effectively allocate risk and ensure the successful structuring, development and financing of large infrastructure projects in a wide array of industry sectors. Coupled with an in-depth knowledge of the industry, our market expertise allows us to offer substantive expert advice and clear strategies required to implement and finance projects in the oil and gas, power, petrochemical, telecommunication, transport (including airports, railroads and toll-roads) and water and waste management sectors in Mexico.

We are highly experienced advisers to international and domestic sponsors, developers, investors and financiers in the development and financing of infrastructure projects in Mexico, as well as M&A transactions relating to electricity generation plants, natural gas facilities, toll roads, railroads, airports and ports, where we have represented major energy and infrastructure companies, engineering and construction companies, banks, private equity funds, consortia of investors, insurers, governments and multi-lateral institutions. In addition to advising on traditional project finance structures, our lawyers have developed increasingly innovative financing solutions for the projects market.
