“Highly rated projects and energy practice assisting clients in a vast array of jurisdictions thanks to its enviable global footprint.” - Chambers Global, 2018

We have represented project developers in the prosecution and resolution of actual or prospective political risk insurance claims against both official and commercial insurers involving projects worldwide, including Asia, Africa and Latin America. We also assist project developers and institutional lenders in reviewing their political risk coverage to identify gaps in coverage and other risks and issues with their political risk insurance policies for their emerging market investments.

Our lawyers have advised several leading public sector and commercial political risk insurers as they develop and implement new products that respond to changing market conditions and opportunities. We have advised each of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, Sovereign Risk Insurance, Zurich Emerging Markets Solutions and AIG in the development of novel political risk insurance structures.
