Practice Experience
Mr. Webber concentrates in United States and international corporate and financial transactions, particularly those related to the tender, development and financing of large infrastructure and natural resource projects.
Mr. Webber has broad experience representing all stakeholders in such projects, including commercial developers, infrastructure funds and other financial sponsors, commercial lenders, monoline insurers, multilateral development banks, export credit agencies, and foreign sovereigns and their state-owned enterprises.
Mr. Webber has represented the lead sponsors with respect to several of the largest and most innovative infrastructure transactions in North America to date. This representation has included the negotiation of complex equity financing and governance arrangements, the preparation of competitive bids for infrastructure and natural resources concessions, the structuring of bankable construction and commercial arrangements, and the negotiation of multi-tranched debt financings (including bank debt, insured and uninsured project bond facilities, tax-exempt debt facilities and complex derivative transactions).
Mr. Webber also has significant experience representing commercial banks, multilateral development banks, export credit agencies, monoline insurers and other financial institutions in the debt financing of power, infrastructure and natural resources projects. His representation of these entities has included project financed bank debt, B term loan debt, structured financings, publicly insured loan facilities, insured and uninsured project bond issuances, and acquisition financing. In addition, Mr. Webber has advised such financial institutions on a number of significant and highly complex restructurings and workouts for troubled projects.
Finally, Mr. Webber has advised foreign sovereigns and their state-owned enterprises in the privatization and liberalization of state run industries and companies. In this respect, Mr. Webber has significant experience in drafting enabling legislation, regulations, rules, licenses and concessions as well as in structuring efficient and transparent tender offerings for existing assets and new project opportunities. In addition, Mr. Webber has represented Saudi Aramco and other state-owned oil companies in the negotiation of joint venture agreements and commercial arrangements for numerous upstream, midstream and downstream petroleum projects.
Mr. Webber's experience spans virtually all relevant industries, including toll roads, light rail, airports, parking, deep water ports and other transportation assets, power, water, oil, natural gas, refining, petrochemicals, mining, telecommunications, and special economic zones. He is active in projects throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, Africa, South Asia, Central and Southern Europe, the Arab Gulf States and the Near East.
Mr. Webber is also active in post-conflict development. Prior to joining White & Case LLP in 1999, Mr. Webber served as the Legal Affairs Officer for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Kosovo where he spearheaded the re-establishment of Kosovo's juvenile justice system. Mr. Webber now provides ongoing advice to the International Crisis Group on a wide variety of matters, including with respect to their operations in areas experiencing and recovering from deadly armed conflict.
