Hogan & Hartson project and international finance lawyers represent clients in the development, construction, acquisition and sale (including privatization), restructuring, and debt and equity project financing of capital intensive projects around the world.

We offer clients the essential advantage of strong knowledge and experience across all aspects of a deal, including corporate, commercial, construction, real property, and finance. Our group includes over 50 core transactional lawyers, counsel, and advisors (including 30 partners) who have worked together on billions of dollars of successfully financed facilities for a variety of sectors, including power, oil and gas (including LNG), mining and minerals, water and environmental processing, aircraft, airports, telecommunications, aerospace, toll roads, petrochemicals, and other infrastructure-related industries.

Combining the experience of our 24 offices around the globe, we advise developers, construction and engineering companies, utilities, equity investors, financial institutions, and governments.

We are thoroughly familiar with the emerging energy markets, with extensive project experience in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. In particular, we have analyzed the regulatory framework of emerging market countries, developed, prepared and/or evaluated bidding documentation and privatization and concession arrangements, and prepared and negotiated tolling and power purchase agreements, fuel supply agreements, off-take and supply agreements, operating and maintenance agreements, engineering, procurement and construction contracts, and all types of financing and equity-investor documentation.

We have been involved in some of the most important, precedent setting deals in the industry, including several transactions that were recognized as deals of the year by leading industry publications.
