September 30, 2021

New York – Paul Hastings LLP, a leading global law firm, is pleased to announce that its Energy and Infrastructure Team advised on three transactions that won awards at the 2021 LatinFinace Project and Infrastructure Awards for the following categories:

Paul Hastings is representing Lima Airport Partners (LAP) and Fraport in the $1.8 billion expansion of the Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru. The firm advised LAP and its shareholders on the US$450 million bridge financing for the project and is now acting for them in the take-out and long-term expansion financing.

Paul Hastings represented EnfraGen Energía Sur, S.A.U., Prime Energía SpA, and EnfraGen Spain, S.A.U., in their borrowing of US$1.05 billion of bank debt combined with an issuance of US$710 million 5.375% senior secured notes due 2030 on December 17, 2020 pursuant to Rule 144A/Regulation S.

Paul Hastings represented Patrimonio Autónomo Montes de María, as issuer/borrower, Sociedad Concesionaria Montes de Maria S.A.S. and the sponsor Sacyr S.A. on the approximately US$250 million financing of the design, development, construction, commissioning and operation of the Autopista Puerta de Hierro-Palmar de Varela y Carreto-Cruz del Viso (“PdH”) project in Colombia. The financing package is priced in Colombian pesos and consists of a series of UVR-denominated notes issued pursuant to Rule 144A/Regulation S and guaranteed by DFC. The issuance is the first social bond tied to an infrastructure project in Latin America, and the first bond in Latin America guaranteed by DFC.

These awards follow additional recognition for the firm’s Latin America practice, including:
