Power, Energy & Infrastructure

Project structuring, licensing, EPC and PPA contracts, project finance and construction claims.

What it is

Infrastructure projects fail on documentation and timing far more often than on engineering. We assess the project before commencement, secure its regulatory foundation, negotiate the contract suite, and build the compliance and documentation systems that protect it across its whole lifecycle. Our approach to project disputes is preventive and solution-oriented, ensuring that every action is legally sound, commercially practical and properly documented.

What this covers

Project Structuring & Due Diligence

Assessment of legal title, regulatory requirements, project viability, contractual risks and investment structure before project commencement.

Regulatory & Licensing

Assistance with government approvals, licences, concessions, permits, land acquisition and regulatory compliance.

Project Contracts

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating EPC, O&M, PPA, PPP, JV, concession, supply and construction agreements, protecting the client's commercial interests.

Project Finance & Risk Management

Advice on financing structures, security arrangements, contractual risk allocation, guarantees and lender requirements.

Construction & Commercial Disputes

Delay, cost escalation, variation, defective work, payment, termination and performance disputes.
