Your interests are defended by our specialists, armed with in-depth knowledge of the sectors concerned and a real capacity for innovation.
France is recognised as one of the top countries in terms of infrastructure, in particular in energy, transport and “social infrastructure” (especially in healthcare, justice, education and housing). It is an essential attractiveness factor for your investments.
Yet in recent years, national and local government budgets have been particularly tight, which raises the question of the maintenance and development of these infrastructures.
Yet many challenges will need to be overcome in the coming years to improve the quality of infrastructures. One of the issues raised by the prospect of a virtuous post-Covid recovery is the need to replace or upgrade existing infrastructures to take the effects of climate change into account.
In this contex, arranging suitable funding and innovative contractual structuring can prove to be a key issue.
To support you in implementing your infrastructure projects, the Infrastructure & Projects team at CMS Francis Lefebvre offers an approach based on in-depth knowledge of the various business sectors concerned, synergies between member firms of the CMS network, as well as the expertise and innovation of our lawyers.
Our experience allows us to understand and defend our clients’ needs and demands, whatever their role in the transaction. We regularly advise operators in all sectors: industrial actors, infrastructure investment funds, as well as public sector entities (States, public institutions, local authorities), banks, financial institutions and debt funds.
