Our global infrastructure and transport sector is focused on providing the highest quality legal advice to the companies, governments and investors involved in the construction, operation and acquisition of infrastructure and transport assets.

We act for a range of clients including constructors, operators, financiers, regulators, governments and the infrastructure funds that invest in these sectors. In this area, the firm has a pre-eminent reputation, acting for the winning purchaser on a number of headline acquisitions, including BAA, Associated British Ports, Anglian Water & Kelda Water.

The firm differentiates itself from its competition by providing a consistent quality of service across an integrated network of offices, successfully combining core strength in mergers and acquisition and project finance with an extensive understanding of each infrastructure and transport asset class. This is particularly apparent in project financings, where the firm acts for a diverse range of global clients to remain at the leading edge for both primary (green and brownfield origination) and secondary (acquisition, disposals and restructuring) project work.

Sectors covered by the group include:

  • infrastructure funds;
  • water, waste and other utilities;
  • aviation and airports;
  • ports and shipping;
  • rail and road;
  • post and logistics;
  • construction and engineering;
  • social infrastructure;
  • governments;
  • public sector entities;
  • government authorities; and
  • defence.

Our clients include professional investors, manufacturers, operators, financiers, regulators and governments. Our lawyers combine their legal skills with an in-depth industry knowledge, providing a blend of legal and commercial skills to meet clients’ business needs.
