Project Finance

Wildman Harrold’s Project Finance Practice represents parties in the development and financing of domestic projects, including infrastructure projects. We have traditionally been engaged in projects in industries such as public-private facilities, power, telecommunications, water facilities, hotels, schools, and other types of infrastructure. Focused on project finance and development transactions that typically overlay several types of financing vehicles, we have earned a reputation for success, crafting broadly reasoned strategies for difficult and complex transactions involving infrastructure facilities.

We have represented borrowers, commercial banks, and other financing institutions, as well as private equity funds and venture capital investors in a number of domestic project financings. Project finance transactions we handle typically involve various types of financing arrangements, including commercial bank financings, construction and term debt facilities, New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) syndications, Tax Increment Finance (“TIF”), equity and debt syndications, partnerships, public and private security issuances, as well as various lease-based transactions and asset-backed financings. Further, as the project finance marketplace has evolved, we have expanded our practice to include restructuring, securitization, credit enhancement and risk mitigation techniques. In order to support this range of products and industries and to resolve the full range of difficult issues presented in these matters, our Project Finance Practice regularly draws upon fellow attorneys within the firm in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, securitization, tax, public-private partnerships, real estate, bankruptcy, and environmental regulation. This interdisciplinary capability is often a powerful asset for clients attempting to master complex infrastructure problems in a demanding legal environment which requires careful coordination of resources, talent, and capital.
