With a track record in innovative finance solutions, public-private partnerships (PPPs) and ‘game-changing’ projects, our project finance specialists are called upon for their technical excellence and deep commercial understanding across energy, resources and infrastructure.
From the rise of markets in India and Asia to the buoyant PPP markets of Europe, global project finance volumes enjoyed significant growth in 2010. Driven by the strength of the energy and resources sector and an expansionist Commonwealth budget, Australia too has enjoyed a healthy pipeline of clean-energy, motorway, energy & resources and social infrastructure projects.
At the forefront of the market, our top-ranking project finance lawyers have played a lead role in some of Australia’s most significant recent projects, including the Victorian Desalination PPP, QSN Link pipelines and the Birecik hydro-electric power project. Across these projects and more, clients have called upon our multi-party experience, project management skills and the ability to combine rigorous analysis with astute commercial judgment to help achieve their strategic finance requirements.
Having been involved in the majority of Australian PPP/PFI projects over recent years, King & Wood Mallesons confirmed its unrivalled strength in this area as the market experienced continued enthusiasm for privatisations at the State level. Within recent projects such as the SA Schools, the Victorian Desalination and the Peninsula Link, clients benefited from our multi-party insight into the bidding process and in-depth understanding of Government objectives and the risk allocation typically sought.
