Industrial Construction & Projects

We help clients navigate the full lifecycle of complex industrial construction, energy, and infrastructure projects – from early-stage strategic advice on procurement, structuring and financing to execution, operation, and exit. Our advice covers both standalone industrial projects and large-scale investment programmes, helping clients execute projects efficiently and successfully.

We have particular expertise in industrial construction, advising on the development and transformation of production facilities and industrial sites. Our experience includes greenfield and brownfield investments, plant construction and modifications, modernisation projects, decommissioning projects, industrial real estate, and divestments. We advise project owners, investors, developers, contractors and other stakeholders on the structuring and implementation of industrial investments.

Our strength lies in combining disciplined project management capabilities with extensive experience in complex projects and contractual structures, both in the context of owner-led procurement strategies and EPC or EPCM projects. We tailor our teams to our clients’ needs, combining expertise across energy, mergers and acquisitions, real estate, finance, tax, and dispute resolution, ensuring a comprehensive and value-adding one-stop shop service for our clients.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Industrial construction and project development
• Procurement and contracting strategies
• Greenfield and brownfield investments (in all FEL stages)
• EPC, EPCM and other construction and project agreements
• Project financing and investment structures
• Plant modifications, expansions and modernisation projects
• Energy and infrastructure projects
• Regulatory and permitting matters
• Project and contract management
• Risk assessments and claims management
• Decommissioning projects and industrial divestments
• Dispute avoidance and dispute resolution

Our industrial construction and projects expertise spans broadly across industries, capturing all types of industrial production plants within the energy, bioproducts, battery chemicals, defence, food and pharmaceuticals sectors, as well as chemicals, mining and metals, forest and pulp, data centres, and marine and offshore industries.

With a strong focus on project and contract management, we help clients maintain control over large-scale construction and industrial projects while balancing commercial, legal and contractual aspects and mitigate the risk of non-contentious execution phases turning contentious. Where challenges arise, we provide solution-oriented support, from risk assessments to formal dispute resolution processes, helping safeguard project value and successful outcomes in all stages. Our role as an adviser is to see the bigger picture, anticipate issues and find solutions that keep projects on track.
