Equity Advisory
“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”
— Galileo Galilei
We help ambitious owners and investors protect opportunity costs and unlock opportunity value by quickly identifying and de-risking the “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns” which are often overlooked when developing and acquiring major capital projects.
Bankability
A successful project has typically failed or stagnated several times before achieving financial close. We aim to break this destructive, expensive cycle by supporting equity stakeholders at an early stage to prioritise and deliver project packages suitable for investor engagement and timely financing.
Typical clients include project companies, government entities, infrastructure development funds, and multi-lateral agencies.
Acquisitions
We partner to provide commercial, technical, environmental, and legal diligence to support buy-side transactions in the energy sector, combining our practical experience of deal processes and value drivers for efficient analysis and qualification of material issues.
Typical clients include small and mid-cap corporates and private equity funds.
Debt Advisory
“The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers, as ask the right questions.”
— Claude Levi-Strauss
As a trusted independent advisor to the global project finance community, lenders retain our services to identify and mitigate their fundamental investment risks for the due diligence, financing, and regular monitoring of major greenfield and brownfield projects.
Due Diligence
We provide technical due diligence to syndicated lenders for major capital projects in the energy sectors, partnering selectively to coordinate and integrate commercial, legal, environmental, and specialist risk expertise.
Typical clients include financial advisors, export credit agencies, multi-lateral and development banks, sovereign wealth funds, and commercial lender groups.
Construction & Operations Monitoring
We could write the book on why construction schedules overrun and project costs rarely meet original forecasts.
Instead, we share our global experience across project sites, both offshore and onshore, to help lenders quickly identify material issues during the construction and operation of projects, focussing on emergent and potential risk exposures within the scope of committed financing agreements and models.
