We introduce the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and share our insights how this initiative will impact the financing of energy and infrastructure projects and the legal market for M&A.

The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road is a cross-continental development strategy conceptualized by the Chinese government in 2013. The initiative was then known as the One Belt and One Road Initiative (OBOR), and has since been re-framed as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The BRI aims to achieve better connectivity and economic cooperation among countries in Eurasia.
