Water

We are experts in water law and can offer our clients the expertise we have gained from many years of working in and for the industry. This expertise is recognised by the legal directories, who consistently rank us as a top tier practice and several of our team members are recognised as experts in their field.

We can provide you with practical and integrated legal solutions in the following areas:

• water supply
• sewerage
• desalination
• regulatory

We have worked on a number of groundbreaking projects and transactions within the public and private sectors. As well as our work on the Ministry of Defence's Project Aquatrine - the largest water project in the UK and one of the largest Water PPPs ever completed - the team has secured a number of “firsts”, including the first wastewater PPP in the Middle East, the Ajman Wastewater Project.

Our work for sponsors and lenders, as well as governments and municipalities, gives us an understanding of all of the drivers and issues of the variety of parties and stakeholders involved in these projects.
With a dedicated team of specialist lawyers and our extensive geographical coverage, we are able to support our clients on any water project.

Our water-related work has included:

• PPPs
• concession schemes
• outsourcing
• licensing regimes
• competition and regulation
• M&A
• privatisations
• financings in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia
