Michael Graffagna at Morrison Foerster handled a complex project finance matter for our infrastructure fund's Southeast Asia portfolio. His deep expertise in project finance and development, honed over 12 years including his work in Tokyo, was evident in the structuring of the deal. He is clearly a knowledgeable practitioner in this niche. However, our experience was mixed. While the legal work was technically sound, we sometimes experienced delays in receiving responses to our emails, which created minor bottlenecks during negotiations. For straightforward, high-stakes project finance, he is capable, but managing client expectations on timelines could be better.
