Infrastructure Development & Finance Brokerage Services

In recent years, infrastructure development has grown exponentially in SSA and involves high risks, rewards, countless uncertainties and unknowns.  The African Growth and Opportunity Act, the Millennium Development Goals, the African Union (AU) and its economic development vehicle, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), continue to spearhead this surge. Emanating from this escalation in infrastructure development activity is the ever-changing complexity in project development, finance and management. To successfully execute these transactions one must often concurrently address a range of complicated issues, especially in multi-jurisdictional projects.  Success and seamless implementation and/or operational efficiency require locally knowledgeable and globally sophisticated legal counsel.

The world sees one Africa. We see so much more with clearer eyes. In this complex region, no two countries are the same. Every country has a distinct culture, a different economy and a unique way of dong things. We deeply understand these disparities because we are motivated to master the dynamics of each local market and community.

We possess the global perspective, regional vision and country-by-country socio-cultural fluency to successfully execute even the most complex SSA transactions for corporate borrowers and lenders, commercial and investment banks, and other types of financial institutions, quasi-governmental organizations and governments.  We offer superior expertise as well as sophisticated operational perspective.  Success depends on the ability to navigate what are often complex, highly structured transactions with intricate regulatory schemes and elusive governmental policies in volatile and fervently competitive markets.
