WWL: Project Finance, first published in 2001, seeks to identify private practice lawyers with a proven track record in representing sponsors and lenders in project financing and refinancing transactions.

Due to the cross-border nature of project finance work, the expertise of many of the lawyers listed here has a wide geographical remit and their practices feature significant elements of international work. Project finance remains a diverse and busy area, but industries such as energy, infrastructure and transport all feature heavily in the workloads of those recommended.

The list features 783 practitioners from 534 firms in 72 jurisdictions across this practice area.
