OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Energy and Infrastructure Projects

Our objective is to support projects from investment and financing through construction, operation and eventual exit or restructuring.

  1. Structuring for Long-Term, Capital-Intensive Projects

    Energy and infrastructure projects typically involve significant capital commitments, long development periods and complex relationships among investors, lenders, contractors, regulators and public authorities. The legal structure must address financing, construction, regulation, land and asset rights, political risk and long-term operation at the same time.

  2. Investment, Financing and Asset Development

    Our lawyers advise on investments, acquisitions, project development, financing, construction and operation of energy and infrastructure assets. We work on matters involving power generation, renewable energy, utilities, transportation infrastructure, telecommunications infrastructure, logistics, real estate development and other capital-intensive projects.

  3. Project Structures and Risk Allocation

    Averites assists sponsors and investors with project-company and special purpose vehicle structures, shareholder arrangements, equity and debt financing, government approvals and the allocation of project risk.

  4. Acquisitions and Disposals of Energy and Infrastructure Assets

    We advise on acquisitions and disposals of infrastructure and energy assets, including legal due diligence, transaction documentation, regulatory approvals and post-closing integration.

  5. Public-Private Partnerships and Government-Backed Projects

    Our lawyers also advise on public-private partnerships, concessions, government investment arrangements and projects involving municipalities or state-owned entities. These projects require careful analysis of public procurement, regulatory authority, government support and contractual protections.

  6. Construction and Development Contracts

    Construction and development contracts are central to many infrastructure investments. We advise on engineering, procurement and construction arrangements, development agreements, supply contracts and other material project documentation.

  7. Disputes, Delays and Regulatory Intervention

    Where projects encounter delays, cost overruns, regulatory intervention or disputes among participants, Averites represents clients in negotiations, litigation and international arbitration.

  8. Treaty Protection for Cross-Border Projects

    Cross-border energy and infrastructure investments may also benefit from protection under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. We work with our International Arbitration practice to consider investment protection at the structuring stage and to pursue appropriate remedies where government action later affects the investment.
