Infrastructure and Project Finance

Since our foundation, we have led the infrastructure and project finance practice in Brazil, participating in the most innovative and complex transactions in the sector and establishing benchmarks in the market. We cover all major infrastructure sectors, such as energy, airports, highways, subways, ports, shipping, oil and gas, offshore assets, LNG projects, pipelines, mining, social infrastructure (including public lighting), water, and sanitation.

We provide comprehensive coverage of all stages of projects, including bidding processes, development, financing and acquisitions/divestments. Regardless of the type of financing — be it project finance, asset-backed, corporate loans based on projects, acquisition financing, debt in capital markets, local or international — our practice is diverse and multidisciplinary, sought after whenever the stakes are high or the subject is complex.

We offer strategic and integrated advisory for structuring financing in the infrastructure sector, including:

  • Financing with development banks and private institutions, using shared collateral and capital market instruments with tax incentives.
  • International transactions that include direct financing, multijurisdictional transactions with Brazilian guarantees, and issuance of project bonds abroad.
  • Financial modeling and structuring for asset acquisitions in the infrastructure sector, combining asset-backed and project finance structures.
  • Consulting on transactions with multilateral organizations and ECAs.
