Speaker: Professor Paul Deemer (Vanderbilt Law School)
Abstract: This lecture will focus on the development and project financing of large international infrastructure projects, and will cover –
- What is “project finance” and what is not? How does a “project financing” differ from other types of financing?
- Why is project finance used on large infrastructure projects? What is “leverage,” and why is that important?
- What legal structures and documents are commonly used in project financings?
- Who are the participants in a project financing? What are their roles?
- What is the role of the lawyer? Why should a new lawyer be familiar with project finance?
In discussing these issues, the speaker will draw on his experience representing clients on projects in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
