Business consulting & transaction advice

Positioned at the interface of the public and private sectors, major infrastructure and operational projects provide opportunities worldwide for investors and lenders alike. It represents a worldwide market of billions of dollars every year that continues to grow.

Project sponsors, investors and lenders need to understand their current assets and operations as well as these new investment opportunities. What revenues can be generated? What are the costs involved with construction and operation? How material are the technical, economic, commercial and political and regulatory risks around the project?
