The group is led by a capable quartet – Gaelan Cooney and Marina Tinning in Perth, and Chris Redden and David Mason in Sydney. Cooney is recommended for his expertise in counselling sponsors on project financings in the energy and resources sector, while Tinning has longstanding experience in advising on international project finance transactions in the infrastructure industry. Redden brings to the table extensive cross-border financing experience in the energy, gas and oil industries, while Mason is frequently sought after by rated and unrated borrowers, as well as commercial lenders and government-owned institutions. Douglas Fung has in-depth knowledge of the structure of debt funding arrangements, bankability of project documents, multi-source financing solutions, and advising on intercreditor arrangements.
