The 'innovative' practice group at Hogan Lovells (Paris) LLP is well-placed to handle the financing and development of energy and infrastructure projects on behalf of sponsors, lenders and contractors alike. The team is co-led by energy and transport infrastructure project finance specialist Bruno Cantier and Olivier Fille-Lambie, who primarily advises French commercial banks and domestic and multilateral development institutions on financing mandates. A recent matter of note saw the team advise the African Export-Import Bank on the signing of a €200m credit facility agreement in favour of the Republic of Cameroon.
