France > Project finance
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.
France > Administrative and public law
Hogan Lovells (Paris) LLP significantly expanded its public law practice in April 2024 with the arrival of Christine Le Bihan-Graf
and Laure Rosenblieh, both of whom have notable expertise in energy regulatory issues, from De Pardieu Brocas Maffei. In addition to handling high-profile litigation in the energy sector – including cases before the Conseil d’Etat and Court of Justice of the European Union – the team frequently advises on public procurement and on the public law aspects of infrastructure-related transactions. Bruno Cantier is a key adviser to sponsors, lenders and public authorities on concessions, PPPs and project finance.
