Contracts and Project Development

We advise on the structuring and development of large, capital-intensive projects across the infrastructure and energy and natural resources sectors. We act for special purpose vehicles, contractors and operators, and governments, from early-stage structuring and modelling through to implementation.

Our practice includes:

• Structuring and development of greenfield and brownfield projects in energy, natural resources and infrastructure, including SPV incorporation, joint ventures, consortia and alliance agreements; self-generation / self-production energy projects (MoU, PPA and SPA structuring).

• The full suite of project-implementation contracts — EPC, O&M, supply, owner’s engineer, BOP, shipbuilding and offshore construction, vessel chartering and infrastructure-sharing — with sophisticated risk allocation (take-or-pay, ship-or-pay, knock-for-knock, delay/acceleration regimes, among others).

• Assessment of the “bankability” of contracts critical to a project’s success, integrating project-finance considerations.

• Structuring and modelling of PPPs, concessions and privatizations directed at project development.

• Integrated support across regulatory, tax, environmental, real estate and corporate specialties.
