Why buy this book?

• Because project finance is where legal risk becomes financial risk—this book helps you spot, allocate, and document that risk in real transactions.
• Because it covers the “whole stack”: funding sources, official support, sector-specific realities, and what happens when things go wrong (workouts + disputes).
• Because it reflects today’s deal reality: environmental & social expectations and the energy transition are now central, not optional.
