We help our clients access capital for their infrastructure projects. Our practice covers a full range of financing options, including syndicated debt, structured finance, and equity and debt offerings (including initial public offerings and secondary offerings, private placement, recapitalizations, shelf registration statements, Rule 144A offerings, and private placements of equity securities).

We represent lenders, investors, investment funds, underwriters, placement agents, developers, contractors, and exploration and production companies.
