Infrastructure

The Challenge
Infrastructure projects are complex and require high investments. It is therefore important to optimise project structures and keep project durations as short as possible, in order to achieve long-term cost advantages. At the same time, the field of infrastructure is regulated by numerous intersecting legal provisions, on which the success of a project also depends. These range from issues of construction and engineering law or licensing and authorisation regulations to core issues of environmental law, and they have involved areas such as financing and public procurement law as well as specifics of PPP models. Only legal representatives who are fully proficient in dealing with such matters and have many years of experience as well as the practical ability to assess the individual requirements of each individual project are in a position to accept and meet such a challenge.
