Indigenous communities face numerous challenges when navigating large infrastructure transactions with energy companies — including balancing different interests and a limited time availability to manage the process.
Our extensive industry experience enables MNP to work closely with Indigenous communities and energy companies to help them both achieve their goals and create long-term mutually beneficial partnerships. The following steps can help you overcome obstacles and ensure the transaction benefits your community both now and in the future:
- Explore funding opportunities
- Consider a financial advisor and/or debt placement monitor
- Establish clear roles and responsibilities
- Develop a communication plan
- Seek independent advice
