Transformative infrastructure projects often involve multiple jurisdictions, varying procurement rules, and diverse regulatory frameworks. We advise developers, sponsors, and financiers on major projects spanning renewable energy, transportation, water, and digital infrastructure. With experience across the Middle East, North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, our team provides practical solutions to address jurisdictional risks, align stakeholder interests, and deliver projects of global significance.
Construction and Renewable Energy Projects
From offshore wind farms to green hydrogen plants, we support clients in navigating the technical, regulatory, and contractual demands of next-generation energy construction. Our counsel covers environmental permitting, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and project financing, ensuring projects meet global decarbonization and ESG goals.
Construction and Transport Infrastructure
We advise on public-private partnership (PPP) and concession agreements for major road, rail, airport, and port developments. By structuring contracts that allocate risk effectively, we provide delivery certainty for stakeholders and enable long-term operational success.

Our practice also covers data centers, battery storage projects, and digital infrastructure. We ensure that cutting-edge facilities comply with regulatory standards while balancing the need for innovation with construction law fundamentals.
2. Construction and Project Delivery Models
Choosing the right delivery model is critical to project success. Our attorneys are fluent in all forms of project contracting, including EPC, BOOT, PPP, and alliance-based models. We tailor each approach to the commercial realities of the project and the jurisdiction-specific legal framework, ensuring that contracts are enforceable, flexible, and aligned with financing requirements.
EPC Turnkey Contracts
We negotiate and structure Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracts designed to streamline execution. Our team ensures clarity on scope, enforceable protections, and mechanisms to manage delays, defects, and performance guarantees.
O&M and Service Agreements
Long-term success depends on effective operations and maintenance (O&M). We draft comprehensive O&M agreements, project management contracts, and third-party service provider frameworks to ensure continuity of performance throughout a project’s lifecycle.
Flexible and Collaborative Delivery Models
From early contractor involvement (ECI) to alliancing models, we advise on collaborative frameworks that reflect evolving procurement preferences. These structures foster transparency, encourage innovation, and align incentives to maximize project outcomes.
