A.L.A. and Linklaters Panel Discussion: Energy and Infrastructure Project Finance in Africa

Hosted By NYU African Law Association

Africa received 162.2 billion dollars in project finance-funded transactions by overseas investors over the past ten years. Which kinds of projects have been funded? What are the challenges, and opportunities, that these transactions pose – both to the continent and to the practitioners working on them? In the field of energy and infrastructure, what does the future hold?

Join experts from one of the firms leading the way in project finance in Africa, Linklaters, and a practitioner from one of Nigeria's leading law firms, Templars Law, for a panel discussion on the future of project finance in energy and infrastructure in Africa: both for the continent and for practitioners. RSVP here.

Panelists:

• Andrew Jones, Partner in Energy & Infrastructure Practice Group, Head of Africa Group, Linlaters in London

• Justin Faye, Counsel in Banking and Projects Practice Groups, Linklaters in Paris

• Desmond Ogba, Partner in Finance and Projects Practice Groups, Templars Law in Nigeria

The panel will be moderated by NYU Law's Professor Rob Howse.
