In the past three years we have undertaken a number of Government Advisory engagements. We help companies navigate the government finance challenge, select the most promising strategies, advise on deal structuring, assist in negotiations, and secure the sought-after loans, grants, or credits. Our in-depth knowledge covers the universe of federal credit programs. HamiltonClark is a “one-stop shop,” able to advise both on government programs and assist our clients in raising private sector capital and project financing, which is often required for loan guarantees and OCED cost-shares.
