Strategic investment in transport, logistics and digital infrastructure. We advise on ownership, development, commercial arrangements and financing for assets that connect businesses and markets.

Development. Access. Revenue.

Infrastructure investment depends on more than the asset itself. Land and access rights, construction interfaces, operating obligations and customer commitments shape its ability to serve users and generate revenue. We bring these arrangements together with the investment and financing structure, from development through operation and expansion.

Rights + Investment

Concessions, leases and operating rights establish the basis for investment and the period available to earn a return. We address ownership structures, development commitments, tariff arrangements, expansion rights and handback obligations, together with public-authority responsibilities for access and supporting infrastructure.

Capacity + Operations

Berths, handling equipment, storage and inland connections must function as an integrated operation. We coordinate construction, dredging, equipment and operating arrangements, with clear terms for completion, capacity, productivity, maintenance and service interruption. Interfaces between terminal operators, transport providers and other users require particular attention.

Cargo + Revenue

Customer commitments must support the facility’s commercial assumptions. We structure terminal-use, handling, storage and logistics agreements around throughput, capacity allocation, tariffs, service levels and payment. Financing and expansion plans must account for customer concentration, changing trade flows and the consequences of unmet volume commitments.

Rail + Urban Transit

We help owners, developers and investors structure investments and concessions in freight and passenger rail, metros, light rail and streetcars, aligning partnerships, construction and equipment contracts, operating arrangements and financing.

Rights + Access

Concessions, rights-of-way and network connections establish the basis for investment. We structure government and investor arrangements, shared infrastructure ownership and third-party access, addressing train paths, capacity allocation, expansion funding and handback. Cross-border corridors also require agreement on how adjoining networks and terminal connections work together.

Delivery + Operations

Civil works, track, signaling and rolling stock must meet a coordinated delivery and operating plan. We address construction and equipment procurement, systems integration, testing and acceptance, alongside operating and maintenance contracts. Key terms cover fleet availability, infrastructure performance, spare parts, renewals and responsibility when an interface or component fails.

Revenue + Financing

Haulage contracts and access charges support different rail business models. We structure customer agreements around freight volumes, service commitments, tariff adjustments and payment support, including minimum-payment obligations where appropriate. Project and rolling-stock financing must align with those revenues, concession terms and asset rights. Passenger projects may instead depend on fares, public-service payments or a combination of both.

Rights + Investment

Concessions, PPPs, privatizations and acquisitions establish the investment structure and allocation of responsibilities. We address rights-of-way, land availability, government undertakings, expansion obligations and the conditions for transferring or extending concession rights. Change-in-law protection, termination compensation and handback requirements must work alongside investor and lender rights.

Delivery + Operations

New construction, widening and rehabilitation require clear allocation of ground risk, utility relocation, design responsibilities and construction interfaces. Bridges and tunnels add particular requirements for structural performance, safety systems and inspection. We structure construction and operating agreements around completion, traffic management during works, maintenance standards and lifecycle renewal obligations.

Revenue + Financing

Toll revenues and availability payments create different allocations of demand and performance risk. We address tariff adjustments, traffic assumptions, payment deductions and public support alongside financing and refinancing. The agreements must account for phased openings, service interruptions, major maintenance and the investment required over the concession term.

Rights + Investment

Concessions, privatizations and acquisitions define the assets, operating rights and development commitments included in the investment. We address land and expansion rights, concession fees, tariff-setting arrangements and responsibilities retained by public authorities. Investment milestones, termination compensation and handback obligations must align with the concession term and financing.

Development + Operations

Airside infrastructure, terminals and landside facilities must operate as a coordinated airport. We structure construction and systems procurement contracts, airport management agreements, and operating arrangements covering ground handling, baggage services, aircraft catering and fueling. The terms must address phased delivery, operational readiness, access rights, service standards and continuity during expansion, with clear responsibilities among the airport operator, service providers, airlines and public agencies.

Revenue + Financing

Aeronautical charges, retail concessions, property leases and other commercial income support different parts of the airport business. We address airline use agreements, service-provider concessions, retail concessions and commercial leases alongside project and acquisition financing. Traffic risk, limits on charges, revenue sharing and future capital expenditure must be reflected in the investment structure.

Ownership + Investment

Acquisitions and investment partnerships must align control, funding obligations and expansion plans with the rights needed to operate. We address site leases, rights-of-way, infrastructure sharing and regulatory requirements, including spectrum where relevant. Infrastructure separations and sale-and-leaseback transactions require clear arrangements for continued access, customer service and future investment.

Development + Operations

Tower construction, network deployment and data center development require coordinated site access, equipment procurement and connection arrangements. We structure construction, build-to-suit and operating contracts around delivery, acceptance and service availability. Tower agreements must accommodate tenant installations and additional users; network contracts must address access, maintenance and restoration. For data centers, power availability, cooling, backup systems and phased expansion must align with customer delivery commitments.

Customers + Financing

Tower master leases, fiber leases and rights-of-use agreements, wholesale capacity contracts and data center colocation agreements establish different revenue models. We address customer commitments, pricing, service levels, renewal and termination rights alongside project and acquisition financing. Customer concentration, energy-cost allocation and the timing of contracted revenues must support the investment and funding plan.
