Within developed and emerging countries alike, the expansion of transport infrastructure is crucial to economic growth. Gide advises parties contributing to such development around the world, including governments, leading construction and civil engineering firms, manufacturers, investment funds and financial institutions.
Gide plays a central role in the transport infrastructure sector, working on port, airport, road and rail, air, maritime and river projects. These often complex projects involve many different participants and require highly versatile teams of lawyers, with expert knowledge of concession and partnership contracts as well as town planning and environmental regulations and the ability to manage construction and operating contracts and to structure financing that is often subject to a traffic revenue risk.
