SE Asia Projects

Having operated in Asia for over 20 years, Freehills’ Asian Projects team is well placed to advise on the surge of infrastructure and real estate opportunities throughout Asia, especially made available through the use of PPPs.

We understand that a successful offshore acquisition or investment not only requires excellent local legal knowledge and technical know-how, but also requires effective partnering with advisers in the target’s jurisdiction to ensure that our clients’ commercial objectives are met. The efficient project management of international transactions is one of Freehills’ key strengths and frees up executive time.

We bring our knowledge of our clients’ key commercial concerns and proven solutions to the deal team at rates which compare very favourably with other international law firms.

We provide world-class advice on all legal aspects of offshore projects, including managing the output of local advisers, overseeing and engaging in due diligence processes and documenting and negotiating the key terms of a deal.

Our projects experience covers a wide range of industries including large-scale infrastructure and real estate developments.

Our capabilities include:

  • PPP projects – advising on infrastructure developments in Asia structured using public/private partnerships
  • Power, water & waste – advising on greenfield development and acquisitions throughout the region
  • Transport – advising on rail, road, airport and seaport projects
  • Property trusts – advising on cross border property trusts providing investors throughout the world the opportunity to invest in property throughout Asia
  • Real estate – advising on large-scale real estate developments, purchases, operations and disposals, and
  • Australian projects – advising Asian-domiciled entities on large developments in Australia.
