Maalouf Ashford represents clients in traditional project development and finance sectors such as power and energy, utilities, oil and gas, transportation (highway, rail and air), infrastructure, mining and metals, water and petrochemicals, as well as innovative project development and finance areas such as public-private partnerships and aircraft finance. The firm has experience with all aspects of the negotiation and review of key engineering and construction contracts, operating agreements, electric and gas sale contracts and other off-take arrangements and varied other project agreements. In addition, Maalouf Ashford attorneys negotiate and structure debt and equity investments in projects, including non-recourse and limited recourse debt, equity placements, mezzanine debt, leveraged and synthetic leases and public offerings of taxable and tax-exempt debt.

Project finance requires multi-discipline teams of attorneys. Our project finance practice group consists of a diverse staff of professionals with extensive experience in legal disciplines including finance, regulatory, corporate and securities, real estate, secured transactions, environmental, tax and bankruptcy law in domestic and cross-border transactions. 

Maalouf Ashford deal teams are tailored to complement each particular project financing, maximizing our ability to assist clients in developing and transforming project finance concepts into effective, efficient transaction structures. Interdisciplinary teams also assist in debt restructurings and workouts relating to each project financing.
