LONDON, 19 February, 2015 - Twenty eight partners, special counsel and associates based in the London, New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Singapore and Tokyo offices from multiple disciplines, including Project Finance, Energy, Securities, Restructuring and Litigation have authored the Second Edition of International Project Finance Law and Practice, a book that examines the application of English and New York law in cross-border project finance documentation and the impact of structuring projects in civil law jurisdictions.

Published by Oxford University Press, the Second Edition includes new coverage of practice in the bond - bank market and Shari'ah compliant financing techniques, a more detailed treatment of project/commercial contracts and related law, new practical materials such as risk matrices and checklists and a new chapter with sector focuses on oil and gas, mining, conventional power, renewable energy, nuclear power and infrastructure/PPPs.

John Dewar, partner in Milbank’s Global Project Finance Group and editor of the book, said “After the tremendous success of the First Edition, we were honoured to be invited by Oxford University Press to write the Second Edition of the book which has become widely consulted by both industry stakeholders and practitioners in the Global Project Finance market.”

Rachel Mullaly, Senior Commissioning Editor from Oxford University Press, said “OUP are delighted to have published the second edition of this leading authority on project financing which will continue to provide guidance on the legal and practical issues relevant to international projects. Working with John Dewar and a team of expert contributors in the field has been a pleasure, and we are looking forward to continuing our association with John and his team at Milbank. Given the growing demand for accessible formats, in an increasingly digital world, OUP is committed to developing electronic resources to meet this need and the book is also now available in ebook format.”
