Infrastructure

Complex infrastructure projects are integral to modern daily life. The participants in these projects require guidance on issues as far reaching as their projects.

Our lawyers provide a wide range of strategic advice to all participants in such complex infrastructure projects, including assisting in procurement, arranging private financing, and guiding implementation. We support the day-to-day operations of the project with advice in construction, labour and employment, environmental and regulatory law.
