Projects
and Infrastructure

We structure complex project financings on an international scale. Our expertise covers the development of innovative financing structures, negotiation with financial institutions, and implementation of investment strategies tailored to each context. We work on financial documentation, security packages, and refinancing mechanisms. The goal: maximize value for our clients while ensuring bankability of operations in demanding legal and economic environments, whether involving multilateral or private financing.

We assist with infrastructure asset acquisitions and the structuring of joint ventures in highly regulated sectors. Our work includes analysis of regulatory issues, legal due diligence, negotiation of contractual terms, and drafting of shareholders’ agreements. Each transaction is structured to strengthen our clients’ business strategies, ensure effective operational integration, and guarantee compliance with local and international legal standards. We ensure the balance of rights between partners and proper governance of the vehicles created.

We develop public-private partnerships by ensuring optimal structuring of agreements to maximize mutual benefits and ensure their bankability. Our expertise covers the legal structuring of concession contracts, public service delegation agreements, and performance-based contracts, the establishment of effective governance frameworks, and the design of appropriate risk-sharing mechanisms. We work with public authorities and private investors to optimize the implementation and management of infrastructure and public services while maintaining contractual balance.

We assist our clients in navigating the regulatory complexities and public law challenges associated with infrastructure projects. Our expertise enables companies to comply with legal requirements while pursuing their strategic objectives. We handle administrative authorization procedures, building permits, environmental and social impact assessments, and urban planning law issues. Particular emphasis is placed on sustainable development, environmental risk management, and anticipating administrative litigation that could delay projects.

We assist our clients in obtaining licenses and authorizations in the regulated sectors of energy, telecommunications, transportation, and mining. Our in-depth knowledge of international regulatory regimes and our expertise in authorization processes enable us to effectively overcome regulatory challenges. We prepare application files, manage relations with regulatory authorities, and provide follow-up through license issuance, thereby ensuring smooth project progression and compliance with critical deadlines for our clients.

We advise governments and public institutions, focused on the development and implementation of regulatory frameworks conducive to economic development and the attraction of private investment. Our assistance includes drafting sector-specific legislation, structuring public infrastructure policies, and developing standard contractual models. We work closely with authorities to ensure that adopted policies are innovative, respectful of ecological balance, and favorable to investment and sustainable economic growth.

We support major industrial groups in adapting their production models to the challenges of ecological transition and decarbonization. Our approach aims to help these players measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and, where necessary, contribute to the development of carbon sinks. Our teams work across various sectors (chemicals, metallurgy, automotive, engineering) on complex and cross-border projects. We support the transformation and internationalization of operations, facilitated by our global network of partners, from contract negotiation to the realization of decarbonization initiatives.
