Project Finance
Winston is well regarded for our deep and broad experience working on project finance transactions in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and other regions. Our experience includes numerous award-winning, complex deals and projects—often involving aggressive time frames and inventive solutions to help manage risk. Our “trusted, intelligent, and diligent” (The Legal 500 US 2023) practitioners represent public and private lenders, project sponsors and developers, equity investors, offtakers, and other project counterparties and stakeholders in connection with a broad range of investments and non-recourse/limited recourse financings.
Our experience covers a multitude of project types, including digital infrastructure; mining; oil and gas; power and transmission; social and commercial buildings; sports, stadiums, and entertainment venues; transportation and mass transit; and water and wastewater. We also have deep experience with public-private partnerships (PPPs or P3s), as well as project bonds. In addition, we have extensive capabilities regarding single-project and project-portfolio acquisitions and dispositions.
