Courses

    This course will use recent transactions as case studies to illustrate and analyze the legal techniques and financial issues involved in developing and financing both domestic and international energy and other infrastructure projects. These transactions will be the basis for a discussion of the ownership structure, contract provisions and other legal, political, regulatory, legal, environmental and dispute resolution challenges facing each deal. Coverage will include different sources of project financing, including equity sources, multilateral entities, banks and capital markets, political risk insurance, actual documentation used for owning, developing, constructing, buying and financing projects, negotiating techniques developed to achieve desired objectives, bribery, and legal issues raised by many troubled projects. The course will address unique aspects of energy projects, sports facilities, telecom facilities and toll roads.
