I am indebted to a great many people in connection with this work.
First, to John Berger of Kluwer Law International, my gratitude for believing
in the concept for this book, and patiently guiding it and me through the process.
Also, my thanks to Lisa Cordaro of Kluwer, and to Jean Campbell, who read
the manuscript and provided excellent guidance.
I wish to thank my colleagues in the project finance community who
reviewed or otherwise helped with this work, and in particular, to my clients
and friends with whom I have been involved in transactions; you have each
taught me a great deal. In particular, I thank my former partners and colleagues
at Nixon, Hargrave, Devans &Doyle LLP (especially, Bill Andrews, Phil Cronin,
Bob Daileader, Mona Ehlenberger (now at Skadden, Arps), George Middleton,
Bob Pender (now at Hogan & Hartson), Dan Rowley (now with General Electric
Co.), Rodger Tighe (now with Dewey Ballantine) and Gary Valby), where I was
fortunate to practice in and, for a brief time chair, the Global Project Finance
Group. And last, but not least, I thank my partners, Robert E. Evans, Jr. and
Jeffrey L. Evans, who gave me the time and support to finish this book. None
of them, of course, are responsible for the content.
I thank most of all my wife, Margo, who encouraged me to finish this book,
which would have otherwise remained one-tenth its current scope and would
have languished on computer disks in my library. And last, to my four-yearold daughter, Kelsey, who sat in my library patiently thumbing the pages of
"Goodnight Moonn1 until I finished "just one more sentence."
