INFRASTRUCTURE
It takes expertise in a number of specialized areas of the law and practical experience in how the legal rules are applied to advise clients from the infrastructure sector. Being equipped with both, we are able to take into account the engineering, technical and financial angles of infrastructure projects. We deal with all the relevant legal aspects of infrastructure projects, and their financing and implementation, as well as with disputes among the parties involved.
