I engaged Antoine Payen of De Pardieu Brocas Maffei to advise on a complex project financing for a sustainable infrastructure initiative with elements in both New York and Europe. Despite his relatively short tenure, his depth of knowledge in Banking and Finance Law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the intricacies of the transaction, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of both U.S. and French regulatory frameworks that was critical for our cross-border structure. His recognition in Project Finance and Development Practice was well-earned; he anticipated challenges related to syndicated lending and security packages that others missed. Antoine’s professionalism was matched by his personal commitment—he was consistently available, explained complex terms with clarity, and maintained a calm, strategic focus throughout intense negotiations. The deal closed successfully, on time, and with terms more favorable than we initially anticipated. His dual-market insight from practicing in Paris and handling matters for our New York-based entity proved invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend him for sophisticated finance work.
