Our experience includes involvement in some of the most complex projects in the world, including Kenya’s award-winning Medical Equipment Supply PPP project.

Our lawyers advise on the full spectrum of infrastructure and PPP projects and including Africa’s most important sectors such as energy and natural resources, as well as infrastructure.
