International Project Finance: Law and Practice

Now in its fourth edition, International Project Finance is the definitive guide to legal and practical issues in international projects. It explores the application of English and New York law in cross-border documentation and financing projects in civil law jurisdictions.

The volume examines various funding sources, including banking, international bond documentation, and Islamic financing practices, addressing their legal and documentation challenges. It also provides insights into managing project defaults and workouts, and covers the roles of export credit agencies and development finance institutions, along with extensive dispute resolution strategies.

Beyond the basics of structuring and documenting project financings, it delves into sector-specific differences in energy transition, transportation, infrastructure/Public Private Partnerships, conventional, renewable, and nuclear power, mining, and oil and gas.

New chapters focus on environmental and social considerations in project finance transactions and the emerging energy transition sector. The new edition includes broader perspectives on project finance in civil code jurisdictions in the Middle East and Latin America.

This book offers a thorough understanding of international project finance, including practical guidance on identifying and assessing project risk, with relevant documentation like risk matrices and checklists. With its focus on international projects and practical application of the law, International Project Finance: Law and Practice is an essential reference for practitioners in the field.
