Finance
Common to all of our work is the challenge of sourcing and channelling funding from donors and investors to their intended recipients and, in the case of returnable capital, back again. As such, we advise on a spectrum of financing arrangements appropriate to the requirements and objectives of our clients, including grants, equity, debt and guarantees.
