Energy & Infrastructure

Practical advice in energy & infrastructure

Energy and infrastructure projects involve several legal areas, including project development, land use, construction, procurement, financing and regulation. We advise developers, contractors, technical consultants, financiers, property owners and public authorities in both public- and private-sector projects. Our lawyers assist clients throughout the project lifecycle, from planning and procurement to implementation, operation and dispute resolution.

Project structure, contracts and regulatory requirements

Energy and infrastructure projects require careful planning, clear allocation of risk and contractual arrangements. Even a technically viable project may face delays, additional costs or disputes if land rights, permits, procurement requirements, financing or contractual responsibilities are not addressed at an early state.

We advise clients throughout the development and implementation of energy and infrastructure projects, from project structuring and land rights to procurement, contracts and financing. Our work focuses on identifying legal and regulatory risks early and establishing contractual arrangements that support effective project delivery.
