Founded in Paris in 1920, Gide is a leading international law firm with 12 offices spread throughout the world.
Gide is physically present in six regions of the world, with 11 offices, enabling it to act on cases globally.
Public management of water and waste treatment, of urban cooling, heating and lighting networks is a politically and socially sensitive topic that can affect projects, which are already often complex enough with the economic and technical constraints and the local specifics in place. Gide has been advising its clients for over thirty years on these topics, constantly adapting to changes in public bidding policies, technological advances and new environmental standards.
We enjoy significant experience in the implementation of public-private partnerships in the environment field, and assist developers, lenders, governments and multilateral organisation on projects regarding water, wastewater, solid waste and urban services, whether in Africa, Asia, Europe or the Middle-East.
Our Projects (Finance & Infrastructure) team drafts call for tender documents, project documents (concession agreements, management contracts, etc.) as well as financing documents (credit agreements, A/B loans, direct agreements, etc.). Our lawyers are also called upon to draft and amend legislation pertaining to water sectors, public-private partnerships, as well as the laws and regulations relating to foreign investments.
