Chapman Tripp has won two awards at the IFLR Asia-Pacific Awards, which celebrate the achievements of the financial law community.
As well as being named New Zealand Firm of the Year, we also won the Structured Finance and Securitisation Deal of the Year award for our work with both New Zealand Green Investment Finance (NZGIF) and solarZero on the NZGIF Solar Finance Programme.
This deal combined the concept of securitisation and project finance and is the first term securitisation of a solar portfolio. The transaction involved establishing a master programme with NZGIF as Programme Manager which has the ability to bring different solar operator trusts under the one structure with separate investors but all managed by NZGIF.
Congratulations to all the winners.
