‘A team absolutely focused on client service’, Garrigues’ projects group handles the full scope of transactional and regulatory matters, but it is arguably best known for the strength of its project finance offering. The department is led jointly by infrastructure specialist Adriana Espinosa, who is ’assertive in her analysis’, and up-and-coming project finance partner Francisco Noguera, who ‘always manages to bring transactions to a close’. Espinosa and Noguera paired up to advise the lenders (Ashmore, BlackRock and FDN) on a $215m refinancing for Concesión Transversal del Sisga, as concessionaire of the 4G toll-road project, Corredor Transversal del Sisga. A strong second line of non-partners includes counsel Iván Fierro (public law and infrastructure); senior Juan Ospina (public law and infrastructure); senior Mónica Rodríguez (banking and finance); and senior Nicolás Angulo (securities, banking and project finance).
