Governments and Infrastructure

Whatever the size of the infrastructure project you’re working on, wherever in the world it is, our legal advice is always geared towards helping you create a successful, appealing proposition that will attract investment. This is where our global experience can give you the upper hand. We know that government and infrastructure law is very localized to the specifics of the jurisdiction. But we also know from our extensive experience, working for public and private sector clients around the world, that the challenges and opportunities are often very similar.

Whichever side of the table you’re on, we can help. If you’re a state body at central, regional or local government level, we can assist with vital legislative and regulatory changes while engaging with the market and delivering services. For counter-parties, we can help navigate proposed and actual changes to the law. If you’re on the supplier side, or are investing in or financing major infrastructure projects, we can help you at every step of the way, from procurement to completion.

Our experience can guide you through any situation. We’ve worked extensively on transportation infrastructure, and continue to advise on some of the biggest new rail projects in the world. Our social infrastructure experience covers housing, hospitals and schools. Beyond physical infrastructure, we work on a lot of digital infrastructure - including IP and smart cities. We’re also working more on logistics and distribution, another rapidly growing sector.

That experience means that whatever the nature of your project, our lawyers will help you procure, invest in and deliver efficient and cost-effective solutions, and help drive your strategy to successful completion.
