Infrastructure & Environmental
Infrastructure
We advise clients in the development, acquisition, and financing of infrastructure assets. This covers everything from drawing up the initial joint venture agreement, through to the financing and completion of a project. We understand and can generate the contractual documents underpinning revenue generation.
We have experience across multiple jurisdictions of public and private sector projects, privatisations, dispositions, financings, and long-term lease and concession arrangements. We advise developers and financiers on all aspects of infrastructure, including wind, solar, and thermal power generation projects, desalination plants, airport and rail facilities, and ports.
Whether our clients are involved in the business of developing projects, acquiring existing assets, or providing equity or debt financing for projects, our firm is well versed in providing comprehensive and innovative solutions to extract the best value from each transaction, and to overcome any latent impediments in infrastructure projects.
Environmental Law
Our firm is accustomed to designing, supporting and auditing regional and international environmental compliance systems within the geographical areas of our practice.
Environmental laws can significantly impede the carrying through of mergers and acquisitions, or other real property transactions. If an organization does not have the correct entitlements to operate; has an expensive compliance issue that must be remedied; or has clean-up liability, it can materially alter the viability or structure of a deal. From the outset, we focus on avoiding such impediments and as such our clients rely on us to establish deal parameters, conduct due diligence, secure approvals where necessary, and translate risks into economic terms for valuation purposes. In this way, our clients can achieve the optimum outcome for their endeavours.
