Infrastructure & Projects

Portugal

The area of Projects and Infrastructures of CMS Rui Pena & Arnaut has a wide experience in PP/PFI, project finance and outsourcing, to intervene in a variety of transactions related with infrastructures (e.g. motorways, bridges, hydroelectric dams), with energy (oil, renewable energy and gas), with residues and with health sector.

These kind of projects are usually rather complex and entail the participation of expertise teams, involving the areas of public law, public procurement, bank and financial law, corporate and tax law.

The team devoted to the sector of Projects and infrastructures provides legal services related with the design, construction, funding, operation and maintenance of infrastructures and project finance, including, among others:

  • Agreements for works under contract and concession contracts
  • EPC Agreements
  • Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
  • Legal assistance and representation in contractual negotiations
  • Tender processes and award of contracts
  • Legal representation in the revision of proceedings of award of contracts
  • Consortium agreements

Our clients benefit from a wide experience developed within the CMS network covering all Europe, extended also to Africa, Asia and Americas.

We work closely with promoters and financial providers as well as with the public sector, what gives us the possibility of providing a realistic, practical, commercial advice and, above all, an advice grounded in the expertise acquired through the participation in previous projects with similar issues to be dealt with.
