The Natural Resources, Infrastructure and Power Finance Asia team arranges project financings for greenfield infrastructure projects (Power, Oil & Gas, Water Sector, Waste Management, Ports, Airports, toll-roads etc.). It also finances expansions, acquisitions of assets or of portfolios of assets and other brownfield infrastructure deals.

Two other teams have pure coverage responsibilities on respectively the energy sector and financial sponsors.
