Industry
Winston is well regarded for deep and broad experience advising clients in the development, construction, financing and refinancing, acquisition, and operation of major infrastructure assets, including several award-winning deals and public-private-partnership (PPPs or P3s) projects in North America, Latin America, and Europe. Recognized for our ability to “take complex issues and boil them down to pragmatic solutions” (Chambers USA 2023), our team represents a diverse mix of participants and stakeholders in a broad range of investments and non-recourse/limited recourse financings, and we have experience working on many of the most complex projects, within aggressive time frames, while employing inventive solutions. Likewise, our lawyers help to identify and quantify roadblocks and risks at an early stage, so that we can help our clients—which include developers and sponsors, a full range of lenders and investors, project owners and operators, governments and their agencies, and other project counterparties—evaluate and, to the extent possible, mitigate or eliminate risk.
