WHO WE ARE
About Infra Law
Infra Law is a boutique legal advisory firm based in Johannesburg, South Africa, serving clients across South Africa, the wider African continent and the Middle East. With more than 23 years of specialised experience, we support both public and private sector clients in delivering complex, high-value infrastructure and energy projects.
We act for developers, sponsors, contractors, operators, funders, investors, governments and development finance institutions, bringing deep sector insight and a practical, solutions-driven approach. Our expertise spans sector-specific regulatory advice, public procurement and public finance regulatory guidance, and comprehensive transactional support — including drafting, reviewing and negotiating the full suite of project agreements, as well as tailoring and customising standard-form contracts.
Beyond transactions, we assist governments and DFIs to design and implement infrastructure programmes, and we support private clients in structuring and optimising contractual frameworks for their projects. Our legal project management capability ensures disciplined execution, seamless coordination and clear, commercially grounded advice at every stage.
Infra Law combines technical excellence with a nuanced understanding of the infrastructure and energy landscape, offering clients a trusted partner for navigating complexity and achieving bankable, sustainable outcomes.
