Infrastructure
Advice on public-private partnerships, concessions, project finance and procurement for roads, ports, energy and social infrastructure.
Overview
Infrastructure projects need long-term contracts that hold up through political and economic change. We advise governments, sponsors, contractors and lenders on structuring and delivering them.
We advise on public-private partnerships and concessions under the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission Act 2005 and state PPP laws, procurement, project agreements, EPC and operation contracts, and project finance and security packages.
We also advise governments on enabling legislation and policy, and we act in disputes arising from infrastructure projects in arbitration and the courts.
