He has also advised a number of European development finance institutions including BII, Proparco, FMO, DEG, BIO, Norfund on a variety of impact investment transactions, such as an equity investment in mini-grid systems for villages in Nigeria, the financing of off-grid solar home systems in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, as well as microfinance lending in Indonesia and a hospital investment in Kazakhstan.
Now based in Singapore, Eric is currently advising the firm’s clients Asian Development Bank, International Finance Corporation and FMO on a variety of projects in the Asia Pacific region, including solar projects in Uzbekistan and Bangladesh, water and sanitation in Sri Lanka, wind farms in Mongolia and microfinance on-lending in Cambodia.
Prior to entering private law practice, Eric spent 14 years in international development, working as a trusted advisor to governments in Southeastern Europe and Central Asia on legal and regulatory reform initiatives with a focus on good governance, anti-corruption and land development.
