The Australasian infrastructure sector has enjoyed enormous growth and development over the last decade, but the global economic downturn and credit crunch is having a dramatic impact on existing and planned projects across the country.

The provision, funding and operation of sustainable, cost-effective projects remain key concerns for governments at all levels and the demand for innovative funding and new operational models is greater than ever.

Piper Alderman understands that providing and maintaining efficient transportation, freight, residential and commercial infrastructure requires novel finance models, robust delivery methods, stringent management processes and design innovation. Our aim is to mitigate risk and maximise outcomes whilst managing budgetary concerns for our clients.

We draw on the specialist skills and solid experience of our team members across all offices to deliver high level commercial and legal support to stakeholders in transport, infrastructure, construction, mixed use, energy, facilities management and public access projects around Australia.

We represent the interests of public and private sector clients including owners, developers, financiers, contractors, consultants, operators, consortia of all sorts and service providers. Our team advises on the full range of legal issues impacting on infrastructure projects including due diligence, risk management and allocation advice, construction disputes, employment and workforce issues, financing and ongoing operational matters.
