HOW WE CAN HELP
Our infrastructure team has a deep understanding of the commercial drivers and risks associated with infrastructure projects and transactions. We advise a wide range of developers, sponsors, financiers, government and industry bodies on some of Australia’s largest and most difficult infrastructure transactions.
We recognise that infrastructure projects need a variety of different legal specialisations. Our approach is an integrated one in which we bring together a team with the necessary skills required to deliver the best results for our client and achieve a successful outcome for the project. We are able to leverage our firm wide expertise to deliver often novel solutions to clients on complex major projects.
