Energy and infrastructure require lawyers to have a deep insight and understanding both on the legal aspects and of transaction practices and financial structures due to the intrinsic features carried by the fields themselves.

Our Energy and Infrastructure Team has extensive experience of diverse areas, including private investment projects, renewable energy, power generation and resource development. In particular, our attorneys have a track record of successfully advising clients on a number of diverse private investment projects and solar photovoltaic power generation issues. Recently, we are concentrating on enhancing our capabilities of dealing with cross border projects. Our team provides legal advice to financial institutions as well as developers, constructors and owners of projects from diverse perspectives. We also advise clients on the overall life cycle of a project from the initial bidding stage to refinancing after the closing of the deal, which encompasses conducting legal review of the deal structure, negotiation, and the execution of contracts and instruments. We promise you to provide timely and professional advisory services on the basis of our expertise and abundant experience.
