Our Infrastructure legal practices include a variety of sectors, such as energy, water, telecommunications, public facilities, and transportation. The primary components of infrastructure legal practices are as follows:
Project Development and Structuring
1. Project Planning and Feasibility Feasibility Studies: The process of conducting feasibility studies to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of infrastructure projects.
Project Structuring: Providing guidance on the organization of infrastructure projects, including the determination of the most suitable project delivery models, including Consortium, Cooperation, Partnership and Build-Operate Transfer (BOT).
2. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) PPP Agreements: The drafting and negotiation of agreements for public-private partnerships, such as concession agreements, lease agreements, and service contracts.
3. Project Financing Structures: Providing guidance on the financing of infrastructure projects, including equity, and debt financing models. Loan Agreements: The process of drafting and negotiating loan agreements, which encompasses the provisions of syndicated loans, project bonds, and other forms of financing.
4. Contracts for Construction Contract Drafting: The process of drafting and negotiating construction contracts, such as Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts, Design-Build contracts, and Construction Management agreements.
5. Approvals and Permits Assisting in the acquisition of the requisite permits and approvals for the construction and operation of infrastructure projects – permitting.
6. Operational and Maintenance Agreements
Operations and Maintenance Contracts: The process of drafting and negotiating Operation and Maintenance (O&M) agreements for infrastructure initiatives, which includes performance standards and service level agreements.
7. Preparing Key Legal Documents in Infrastructure Projects Feasibility Studies:
Reports that evaluate the feasibility of infrastructure projects. PPP Agreements: Contracts that delineate the parameters of public-private partnerships. Loan Agreements: Documents that specify the terms and conditions of project financing. Construction Contracts: Agreements that govern the design, construction, and commissioning of infrastructure initiatives. O&M Agreements: Contracts that govern the administration and maintenance of infrastructure assets.
