Our projects and infrastructure team brings together corporate, construction and finance lawyers with particular expertise and experience in the sector to advise on the full spectrum of works and services contracts, on a transactional, advisory or contentious basis.
These include:
- PPPs/PFI and asset-backed vehicles – we advise investors and contractors on their involvement with PPPs, PFIs and asset-backed vehicles and are experienced in drafting and negotiating appropriate forms of contract (including standard forms) and associated sub-contracts. We also act for a number of investors and contractors on existing PPPs and PFIs, including advice to investors on the acquisition of portfolios of PFI/ PPP assets.

We also advise a number of operating companies on the delivery of infrastructure projects and operational services.
