Nick Ross-McCall is a partner with over ten years’ experience representing sponsors and lenders on the development and financing of energy projects, both in the UK and globally. He focuses on upstream oil & gas (including reserve based lending where he has advised on deals including assets in most of the major oil & gas basins), and power projects, both thermal (including nuclear) and renewables.

Nick also has significant experience across the midstream and downstream sectors (including LNG, pipelines and petchems), of oil & gas M&A and commercial work (including field decommissioning arrangements), and of infrastructure projects (including PFI/PPP). He was seconded to the project finance team of a leading commercial bank in 2011-2.

Nick’s clients include oil & gas majors and independents, energy project developers, and commercial and international development banks. He has experience of all the major debt finance solutions available to E&P companies including corporate and reserve based senior facilities, junior debt, high yield/convertible/Norwegian bonds, prepayment facilities, structured/project finance facilities, and commodities trading. He also has expertise in multi-source financings and Islamic finance.
