Projects & Infrastructure

The cumulative experience of our team includes some of the most interesting, high profile and large scale infrastructure, PPP, concessions, public procurement, construction and project finance work undertaken in Romania.

Our track-record in acting for awarding authorities, consortia and funders has given us an in-depth understanding of the issues on all sides of such projects. This, coupled with our practical, commercial approach to all legal matters relevant to any specific project, means we are seen as a team of deal-makers by implementing safe and legally sound solutions adapted to each and every project.

We have a team with a strong reputation for developing innovative and complex advice on project development including project structures and contractual arrangements in relation to projects in various industries.

The practice integrates capabilities from commercial, corporate, planning and construction as well as finance practices to provide a full range of services to our clients.
