The law and business of international project finance - Scott L Hoffman

Capital-intensive projects throughout the world--including large-scale energy, infrastructure, toll road, solid waste, and recycling projects--rely on project finance as the most important financing technique available. But the complexity of project finance requires that the practitioner predict and resolve a number of potential risks involving bankruptcy, currency, and political issues, among others, and often in emerging economies.<p class=copymedium>Drawing on the author's 15-plus years of experience in all types of project finance, <b>The Law and Business of International Project Finance</b> is the first comprehensive, multi-discipline book to address these risks and their resolution and to detail each of the elements necessary for a successful project financing. Mirroring the structure of an actual project finance deal, this all-in-one handbook examines each step of the process, from the rationale for the project finance, through risk allocation and mitigation, to dispute resolution. <p class=copymedium>Topics discussed include financing sources, environmental issues, bilateral and multilateral support, contract aspects and typical contract terms, project contracts as credit support, project finance loan documents, collateral documents, and permits.
