Financing Structure
Debt, equity, hybrid, collateral, milestone, repayment and risk-allocation logic.
Structured Finance Advisory
Structured finance advisory for projects that must withstand scrutiny
AAL helps clients design, refine and stress-test financing structures before they are exposed to lenders, investors, strategic partners or complex counterparties. The goal is not cosmetic presentation. The goal is a structure that survives serious diligence.
The Problem
Most weak transactions do not look weak until the wrong counterparty exposes the flaw
Projects often enter financing discussions with a story that sounds compelling but a structure that is incomplete. Common weaknesses include unclear risk allocation, unrealistic sequencing, unresolved jurisdictional issues, weak documentation logic or a capital approach that does not match the project’s stage and risk profile.

Best Fit
Who this is for
- Mining, energy and infrastructure sponsors preparing for financing or strategic discussions.
- Operators or principals needing an independent second opinion before committing to a structure.
- Cross-border mandates where counterparties, timing and documentation are fragmented.
- Projects with real potential but weak presentation, sequencing or transaction architecture.
