Financing and security
Complex financing structures require specialist knowledge in various fields. Dirkzwager has all the requisite expertise and specialists under one roof to provide such support. We assist financiers, such as banks and (private equity) funds, as well as various other businesses.
Legal assistance for successful financing
Thorough legal preparation and guidance is required to secure funding for energy projects, real estate, working capital and healthcare investments, for example. This starts with the identification of the risks associated with the proposed financing and extends to finding the appropriate frameworks within which those risks can be managed along with a delineation of rights and responsibilities. Negotiating, drafting and assessing the relevant LMA and other financing documentation constitute the backbone of successful financing.
Legal aspects of project financing
Our banking and finance team focuses especially on medium-sized and large project finance undertakings, including sustainable and other energy projects. Those aspects in respect of which we provide support are:
- An assessment of the feasibility of any financing and the provision of advice concerning the risks involved (due diligence)
- The determination and implementation of the most appropriate financing structure (structuring)
- The preparation of financial documentation which is tailored to a specific financing case (contract drafting)
- The identification and mitigation of risks with the aid of contractual provisions and the provision of advice on the form, establishment, legal validity, priority and enforceability of security
- The conclusion of a legally valid agreement between the parties involved
