Properly addressing the unique characteristics of energy and infrastructure (“E&I”) projects, enterprises, and underlying assets requires specific experience. Legal, accounting, and investment advisors recommend Marshall & Stevens to their clients for the independent valuations required to properly contemplate, execute, and report transactions.
Our practice is led by professionals with deep experience in structured finance transactions, tax incentives, financial reporting, and tax reporting of E&I investments.
Asset intensive projects are most often financed with structured finance transactions (lease, sale leaseback, synthetic lease, tax equity investment, etc.) These finance vehicles are more complex than a traditional collateral debt agreement due to the specific valuation opinions necessary to meet US tax requirements. Our specialists provide the independent value opinions and consulting required to complete a well-documented tax beneficial financing transaction (compulsion, economic useful life, fair market value in continued use, limited use, residual value, etc.) including cost segregation analyses.
Dispute resolution and litigation support analyses are also provided, typically related to a disagreement over a residual value buyout, early buyout option, and shareholder suppression.
Energy was the unifying thread across both sessions of the September 2025 Marshall & Stevens Data Centers Forum. Panelists from across the data centers industry emphasized, power is no longer just an operational input, it is the single most important determinant of whether projects move forward.
