Project Finance

In contemporary Nigeria, we’re currently witnessing an influx of startups in technology, power and mining industries, these projects require large scale external finance which involves security structure, and registration process throughout the life span of the project cycle. Project finance plays a fundamental role in procuring and developing assets within these industries. While these major transactions require stakeholders to utilise and optimise opportunities whilst minimising risks, it is important to have seasoned legal and finance advisors who provide close counsel and support in project development, public-private partnerships; advisors who understand process, and are armed with the depth of insight and extensive experience of what the governments, financial institutions, credit agencies and sponsors require per time.
