ABOUT TRINITY INTERNATIONAL

Trinity International is a specialist international law firm focused on corporate, finance, projects and disputes work in emerging markets, particularly across Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. The firm advises sponsors, investors, development finance institutions, multilaterals, commercial banks, funds, governments and other public sector stakeholders on complex cross-border transactions.

The firm has deep experience across the power and renewables, infrastructure, resources, mining, oil and gas, petrochemicals, heavy industry, manufacturing and agribusiness sectors. With offices in London, Paris, Singapore and Washington, D.C., Trinity combines senior-led international capability with a focused and entrepreneurial platform.

The Finance / Projects team advises lenders, development finance institutions, sponsors, developers, investors and governments on project finance, corporate finance, acquisition finance, structured finance and related project development matters, with a particular focus on transactions in emerging and frontier markets.
