DFC provides debt and equity investments as well as insurance and technical assistance for private-sector projects around the Globe, primarily in lower and middle-income countries. Although our team covers most areas of administrative law, the issues we face and how we approach our practice are unlike a typical government agency given our unique mission, structure, and focus. We asses legal risk and identify ways to prevent, mitigate, or accept it as appropriate; we apply a customer-service orientation to our work; and we challenge one another to think outside of the box on legal questions.
