GML is particularly skilled at designing and implementing joint venture financing structures that respond both to the needs of the sponsors and lenders seeking the kind of risk protections that would be "customary" in developed countries and to the demands of local legal and political systems that typically are not designed to provide such protection. Our lawyers pride themselves on their practical approach to deal-making, their ability to reconcile the competing interests of all parties to a transaction and their understanding of the legal and business systems in which such parties are doing business.

GML has assisted on many project financings involving export credit agencies and development banks throughout the world, including U.S. Eximbank, EBRD, OPIC, ADB, IADB, COFACE and Japan Eximbank. As such, we are fully conversant with the concerns and expectations of governmental institutions which view lending as policy-making, have different decision-making apparatuses and analyze risks differently than do commercial lenders.
