Practical, end-to-end energy and infrastructure project finance solutions.
At Husch Blackwell, we help clients navigate every stage of energy and infrastructure project finance. We represent renewable energy developers, data centers, biofuel producers, sponsors, lenders, and investors, covering the full range of project finance needs, including construction loans, term loans, and tax equity financing.
Our debt financing work includes structuring and negotiating non-recourse and limited recourse project and acquisition debt, as well as advising on construction loans, term loans, tax-equity bridge loans, and development credit facilities. We facilitate construction-to-permanent and long-term refinancing arrangements, and we have experience working with major lenders and financial institutions on both syndicated and bilateral loan facilities.
When it comes to tax equity financing and tax equity investments, we work with all structures and stay updated on new ones. We work with clients using both Clean Energy Production Credit and Clean Energy Investment Credit incentives. We structure partnership flips—both yield-based and fixed-flip—and also advise on inverted leases, sale-leasebacks, and tax credit transfers.
Our Project Finance attorneys support the development, construction, and acquisition of energy assets across the board, and we are especially active in solar, energy storage, wind, and biofuels. Our reach extends nationwide, and we work closely with our firm’s local counsel teams to provide local counsel representation to clients across the U.S.
Our Project Finance law team is efficient, sophisticated, and focused, with decades of experience handling energy and infrastructure finance transactions. When clients work with Husch Blackwell, their projects are handled by seasoned professionals, with direct access to our leading partners. Every client and every deal is a priority.
We’re also part of one of the largest renewable energy law teams in the country. That means we’re able to support clients from start to finish—not just on finance, but across the full project life cycle. Our firm has a deep bench covering real estate, environmental and permitting, project contracts (such as EPC agreements, PPAs, and equipment procurement agreements), project acquisition and sale, and tax credit transfer as well as state and federal regulatory, and federal and state tax matters—making it easy for clients to move quickly with Husch Blackwell handling the full scope of project legal needs.
Guiding clients through the financing of energy and infrastructure projects is a core part of what we do. Our team touches some aspect of nearly half of the projects financed in a given year. We know the key participants. We know the structures. We help our clients get their projects built—and financed—on solid terms, on tight timelines, and with clear guidance every step of the way.
