We advise on the structuring of PPP transactions from inception, including regulatory review, equity structuring, and selection of the appropriate vehicle for project delivery. Our involvement in the Committee of Experts on Leveraging Local Financial Markets for Investment in PPPs reflects the depth of our expertise in this space.
We establish and structure SPVs and consortium arrangements for PPP projects, navigating corporate, regulatory, and contractual requirements to ensure the project vehicle is fit for purpose from both an investment and a bankability perspective.
We draft and negotiate the full suite of PPP transaction documents; including FIDIC EPC contracts, O&M agreements, concession agreements, equity term sheets, and lender security documents, ensuring alignment across all parties and mitigating legal risk throughout the project.
Our Principal Partner's appointment to the Committee of Experts reviewing the PPP Act, Policy, and Institutional Framework gives us direct insight into the evolving regulatory environment. We advise clients on how regulatory developments will affect their projects and engage with policy processes on their behalf.
Our PPP practice spans the full project lifecycle, from early-stage feasibility and regulatory review through to financial close and long-term contract management.

We have participated as part of a transaction advisory team on the procurement and engagement of a foreign long-term O&M operator for a major railway infrastructure project. Our services include government counterparty engagement, lender due diligence support, PPP contract drafting, and post-financial-close compliance advisory. We also advise on the policy framework governing PPPs, including input to legislative reform processes.
