WELCOME TO CHANNING LAW INTERNATIONAL

WHAT WE DO

The African power sector is challenging and requires a law firm that understands the bankability requirements as well as the political landscape.  Much of the legal work depends on navigating through the politics / institutions and being at the forefront of cutting-edge, innovative solutions, rather than “precedent work”.

We provide legal advice to sponsors, contractors and suppliers in emerging and frontier markets (with a focus on Africa) on energy and infrastructure projects.

We have a broad range of experience on “greenfield” and acquisition projects and advise on all aspects of the legal documentation, in the captive, C&I and grid connected space.

ABOUT US
