Gide Loyrette Nouel's Projects (Finance & Infrastructure) practice group has extensive experience in public-private partnership projects in the environment sector. We assist sponsors, lenders, sovereign entities and multilaterals with regard to water, wastewater, solid waste and urban services projects in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

In addition to drafting project development documentation (concessions agreements, management agreements, etc.) and project financing documentation (facilities agreements, A/B loans, direct agreements, etc.), our lawyers also draft and amend legislation in relation to the water sector, public-private partnerships, as well as foreign investment-related laws and regulations
. In 2004, we advised the OECD on the drafting of guidelines for performance-based contracts between municipalities and urban water utilities that are suitable in the EECCA regional context. Based on international experience and using model best practices, these guidelines address the main issues to be considered for performance-based contracting and how to overcome obstacles and deficiencies that can be encountered in the EECCA region.

Recent assignments include: 

in the water sector, advising on the Chtouka desalination and irrigation project (Morocco); the management contract for the water sector (Sultanate of Oman); the Beijing No. 10 water project (China); 


in the solid waste sector, advising on the Barueri waste-to-energy PPP (Brazil); a solid waste disposal PPP (Kosovo); a solid waste management PPP (Romania); several urban waste incineration projects (China); several waste collection and incineration projects in Russia, including the first concession project in Moscow;


in the wastewater sector, advising on the Abu Rawash wastewater BOT project and on the New Cairo wastewater treatment plant project - elected 'African PPP Deal of the Year 2010' (Egypt); on the Maribor wastewater treatment plant (Slovenia); on the Gdansk urban water and wastewater PPP (Poland);
