Industry
An infrastructure asset is a set of contracts that has to survive twenty-five years of conditions nobody drafted for. Most of our work in the sector is about that survival.
Sector contacts
We advise developers, sponsors, investors, contractors, and offtakers on generation and transmission projects, digital infrastructure, and the transactions and disputes that arise across their life.
The practice combines transactional and contentious work by design. Our arbitration team is involved in how project contracts are drafted, because the people who resolve project disputes have a view — earned expensively — on which clauses cause them.
Interconnection and power procurement have become the binding constraint on a growing share of projects, including data center development that would not historically have been treated as energy work at all.
What clients are contending with
Multi-year construction programs generate contemporaneous records that nobody expects to be read by a tribunal. How they are kept determines the claim.
Interconnection queues and procurement terms now govern project timetables, and increasingly govern the timetables of adjacent sectors.
Assets financed on one set of assumptions are being refinanced on another, with lenders seeking participation rather than margin.
Practice Areas
Development, investment, and financing across logistics, data centers, and energy assets.
Litigation and international arbitration in matters where the outcome changes the business.
Acquisitions, carve-outs, joint ventures, and the governance that has to survive them.
Internal and government investigations, enforcement defense, and the controls that prevent the next one.
Representative Matters
An arbitration arising from a combined-cycle plant delivered twenty-two months late, in which the contemporaneous record proved more decisive than the expert evidence.
A sponsor-led secondary in which the conflicts process was settled before the transaction was announced rather than defended after it.
Eleven assets, a maturing facility, and a lender that wanted participation in the upside rather than a higher margin.

Describe the matter in general terms and name the parties involved. We run a conflicts check, usually within two business days, and a partner in the relevant practice will call you. The first conversation is not charged.
