As metals prices fluctuate and commodity demands change through cyclical markets, Milbank is there to assist clients through the entire life-cycle of their mining sector assets. From junior developers to mining majors, agency lenders to capital markets underwriters, and suppliers to offtakers, our top-ranked team of metals & mining attorneys represent the entire spectrum of industry participants, which enables us to understand the unique technical, resource, environmental/social, political and marketing aspects of large-scale mining projects as well as the legal issues which tend to arise in connection with the governance, development and financing of these projects.
We understand the nuanced issues arising from how markets for different minerals function; how developers seek to optimize their investments through streaming transactions, commodity hedges, and other industry-specific structuring solutions; and how finance providers analyze risks ranging from political uncertainty to prices in a manner that influences their approach to initial financings, restructurings and workouts.
For over 30 years Milbank has been a global leader in the metals & mining sector, and our team’s experience on many of the most complex multi-party transactions in some of the most challenging jurisdictions in the world ensures that we are able to provide industry-leading counsel to our clients for all of their mining sector needs.
