Project Finance

Allens Arthur Robinson is the firm of choice for project financiers in Australia. We have played a leading role in most of the major financings in the market in recent years, as well as numerous small and medium-sized financings, and we have acted for the full range of parties to such deals – financiers, borrowers, sponsors, government, advisers and suppliers.

We have also advised on some of the groundbreaking infrastructure and resources projects in the Asian region. The strength of our practice in Asia is bolstered by our network of 10 offices across Asia and our 'best friends' relationship with leading UK-based law firm Slaughter and May.

Our team is often praised for its commerciality and thorough understanding of 'bankability' issues. We know how to draft contracts and documents that meet the needs of financiers, and to identify and resolve issues that could potentially delay or break deals. Our clients benefit from our understanding of alternative sources of funding and our ability to work closely with their financial advisers..

Leading innovation and ratings

Allens Arthur Robinson is the current Australian Law Firm of the Year for Project Finance, having won the award at the Australian Law Awards for the past five years.

We are ranked in the top-tier for Project Finance by Chambers Global 2008. We ranked as the number one Australian legal adviser on project finance deals completed in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, according to the highly regarded Dealogic Global Project Finance Review. The firm placed 10th, 7th, 9th and 8th on the global table for 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the only Australian-based firm in the top 10 for the past four years. We were credited with 37 deals for 2007 and apportioned deal credit of US$4.611 billion.

Project Finance International magazine ranked us in 9th place globally and top for Asia Pacific for major project finance deals (greater than US$500 million in value) for 2005-06. We also ranked 9th on the Global Top 10 for major deals completed over the six years between 1998 and 2004, the only Australian-based firm to achieve a listing.

In recent years, the market-leading performance of our Project Finance team comes as a result of advising on the most significant transactions in the region. The size and capability of our team is evidenced through our work on the Mitcham-Frankston tollroad; the sale, restructure and subsequent refinancing and syndication of the Loy Yang A Power Station; the A$1.6 billion refinancing of the Dampier to Bunbury Gas Pipeline; and the acquisition financing and refinancing of Sydney Airport.

Our team's experience and commerciality spans many industries and jurisdictions and we bring this experience together with an ability to 'deliver' on projects to all our clients.
