SERVICE SOLUTIONS

Infrastructure projects rarely fit a standard scope. We shape each engagement around what the project needs.

Our work is organised around the stages of a project and the legal and regulatory frameworks that enable it. The areas below illustrate where clients typically engage us; they are a starting point, not a limit.

Plan and Structure

Establishing whether a project can be financed and delivered, and on what terms. We test the legal, regulatory and institutional position early, so that risks are identified and allocated to support bankability.

Project Due Diligence

Due diligence for feasibility studies: regulatory analysis and advice, legal due diligence, structuring options, and procurement and public finance advice.

Regulatory Advisory

Regulatory advice on public procurement, public finance management, municipal service delivery, and administrative and constitutional law.

Review of Enabling Frameworks

Review of legislative and institutional frameworks against regional and global benchmarks.

Procure, Negotiate and Close

Taking a project from procurement to commercial and financial close. We lead and coordinate the workstreams so that every part of the transaction aligns and progresses to close.

Drafting Procurement Documentation

Rigorous procurement documents for public-sector clients: RFQs, EOIs, RFPs, evaluation templates and scoring matrices.

Project Agreement Drafting and Negotiation

Drafting and negotiating project agreements: concession and PPP agreements, EPC and construction contracts, O&M, consortium and shareholder arrangements, and government support instruments.

Project and Transaction Management

Leading and coordinating legal and multi-disciplinary teams so that every workstream aligns and the transaction progresses smoothly to close.

Enable: Public Law, Policy and Capacity

Shaping the frameworks that enable infrastructure investment across Africa. We support governments, multilateral institutions and private stakeholders in designing regulatory systems that unlock capital and strengthen governance. Our experience includes drafting the PPP Law for Seychelles and PPP Regulations for the Ghanaian Ministry of Finance.

Policy Advice on Sectoral Reforms

Policy advice to governments and regional bodies on sector reform.

Legislative Drafting and Law-Making Support

Drafting primary and secondary legislation in energy, PPP and natural resources.

Guidances, Toolkits and Standard-Form Contracts
