Our lawyers are praised for their technical ability, commercial approach and comprehensive service. We routinely advise on project structures, conduct legal due diligence exercises, advise on risk allocation and review the “bankability” of project agreements.
Allen & Overy is independently recognised as a global leader in projects. Since the league table began in 2000 we have consistently closed more project finance deals globally than any other law firm.
