Projects and Project Finance

Projects are an important contributor to economic prosperity; investment in projects also plays a major role in private sector productivity. Project finance is a long-established technique for stand alone financing of major projects, and is a key component of successful project delivery. Our understanding of project finance and the versatility that it offers for dealing with changing conditions, enables us to develop innovative solutions to extend the reach of project finance to new project delivery models like public private partnerships (PPP).

Our project finance team has played a central role in some of the largest and most complex infrastructure and resources transactions in the Asia Pacific, including several award-winning and ground-breaking transactions. We are also recognised as one of the best PPP teams in Australia, with a reputation for delivering high quality strategic, legal and commercial advice to governments, financiers and private sector consortia. We are clearly positioned at the forefront of Australia's PPP sector, having been instrumental in the development of the Private Financing model in Australia, and having been involved in almost every major infrastructure PPP in Australia to date.

We work across all major industry sectors, including energy (wind farms, solar programs, power stations, and transmission and distribution assets), oil & gas (pipelines and LNG), water (treatment, desalination and distribution), transport infrastructure (roads, rail, ports and airports), resources (base metals, precious metals, coal and chemicals), social infrastructure (hospitals, prisons, housing and schools) and telecommunications (networks and cables).
