Land, Construction and Transportation Laws

We advise clients throughout the full lifecycle of infrastructure development—from early planning and permitting to operational management and eventual decommissioning.

Our team conducts regulatory risk assessments, ensures ESG compliance, and structures financing mechanisms such as PFI and PPP. We also provide dispute management and guidance on compliance with major U.S. infrastructure legislation, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). By combining regulatory foresight with practical execution, we help projects avoid costly delays and remain aligned with long-term sustainability goals.

Construction law spans everything from initial contract negotiation and risk allocation to performance disputes and post-completion claims.

We assist clients with drafting and reviewing construction agreements—whether standard form (AIA, FIDIC) or bespoke arrangements—and provide counsel on labor, safety, and OSHA compliance. Our litigation team handles disputes related to project delays, cost overruns, or design flaws, while our advisory practice covers environmental impact assessments, procurement for green buildings, and LEED-compliant certification. This holistic approach ensures that construction projects are legally protected and reputationally resilient.

From electrified railways and airport expansion to mass transit systems and smart mobility platforms, we help clients navigate the complex legal framework of transport infrastructure.

Our lawyers advise on regulatory permits, compliance with emission standards under the Clean Air Act, and commercial leasing for rolling stock and aircraft. We also structure investment vehicles for mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) projects and guide clients through emerging policy areas such as autonomous vehicles and digital transport networks. By addressing both current regulations and future innovation, we ensure mobility projects remain adaptable in a fast-changing environment.

Legal advisory for SDG-aligned infrastructure is critical, especially as demand for global investment remains immense. According to the Global Infrastructure Hub, more than USD 15 trillion will be required by 2040 to close the global infrastructure gap.

We assist clients in aligning projects with the UN SDGs, leveraging climate finance mechanisms, and meeting disclosure obligations under SEC rules and the EU taxonomy. Our expertise ensures that projects not only secure funding but also withstand scrutiny from regulators, investors, and the public.

As one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions, the construction industry faces mounting pressure to decarbonize. Legal strategies play a key role in this transition.

We counsel clients on sustainable procurement practices, carbon accounting methodologies, and the adoption of green construction technologies. Our support extends to projects pursuing LEED, WELL, or BREEAM certifications, as well as compliance with NEPA, the Clean Water Act, and municipal environmental codes. By embedding sustainability into contracts and operations, we help clients future-proof their projects against regulatory and reputational risks.

Transportation accounts for nearly one-quarter of worldwide emissions, making the shift to cleaner mobility both urgent and inevitable. Legal frameworks are central to achieving this transformation.

We advise on the structuring of EV charging networks, the issuance of green bonds, and the procurement of sustainable transit systems. Our team also provides guidance under FAA, FRA, FTA, and DOT regulations, covering aviation, rail, and transit development. Beyond current rules, we counsel on emerging legal challenges tied to autonomous vehicles, smart city integration, and data governance for connected transport systems. These strategies allow clients to innovate responsibly while maintaining compliance.
