Overview
We have worked on the largest and most complex transport projects (road, rail, port and freight), and understand the key legal aspects, including project vehicle structures, concession deed negotiations, construction documentation, whole-of-life contractual arrangements and tripartite deeds with project financiers.
We are also at the forefront of related developments in Australia, both in establishing government policy frameworks, understanding legal and industry developments and in project evaluation and delivery.
Our practice extends throughout Australia and South-East Asia, Europe and America and has gained an unequalled reputation for managing all aspects of complex transport projects.
Our team provides a comprehensive range of commercially-focused, timely legal solutions across all aspects of the transport (including roads and toll roads) and wider infrastructure sectors. This includes advising on:
- project structuring and project delivery
- mergers and acquisition expertise
- project finance
- risk analysis and management
- preparation of project documentation and contract negotiation
- transaction and project due diligence
- planning, environment and native title advice
- corporatisation and privatisation advice.
Working with you
The mounting pressure on governments around Australia to deliver improved services to taxpayers means they are increasingly looking towards the role that the private sector can play in delivering these services.
In Australia, transport has been the sector that has pioneered private investment in infrastructure development and delivery, particularly toll roads. We offer our clients unrivalled experience in the development and delivery of toll road projects. Our team has advised equity sponsors, debt financiers or government project proponents on every major toll road project in Australia over the last decade. In addition, our experience extends offshore.
