Our team regularly advises governments, private sector organisations and financial institutions on their most complex infrastructure transactions across multiple jurisdictions and sectors.

The Ashurst team is committed to providing the highest standards of service. We have a proven track record of meeting the tight deadlines which are often imposed on public private partnerships and major infrastructure projects, coupled with the necessary resource to efficiently manage these transactions.

We offer "end to end" project solutions for clients, from procurement, negotiation, contracting and delivery, to dispute minimisation and resolution.  This "cradle to grave" approach advising on the full lifecycle of major projects is what sets us apart from other firms.
