Infrastructure
WhiteStone Legal advises developers, contractors, EPC companies, investors, lenders, concessionaires, engineering consultants, technology providers and project owners on a broad range of infrastructure and construction matters, providing commercially focused advice throughout the lifecycle of a project — from conceptualisation and procurement through execution, operation, restructuring and dispute resolution.
In the domestic market, we advise clients across sectors including transportation, highways, railways, ports and logistics, renewable and conventional energy, urban infrastructure and telecommunications infrastructure, drafting and negotiating EPC, EPCM, Design and Build and Operation and Maintenance agreements, and advising on government procurement, tender processes and Public-Private Partnership structures.
Given the increasing participation of international investors, technology providers and contractors in India’s infrastructure sector, we regularly advise on cross-border project development and foreign investment considerations, structuring investments, evaluating regulatory restrictions, negotiating international project agreements and coordinating with overseas counsel on multi-jurisdictional transactions, exchange control regulations and technology transfer arrangements.
Our multidisciplinary capability enables us to advise proactively on project administration, claims management and dispute avoidance throughout project execution, and where disputes become unavoidable, our Infrastructure team works closely with our Dispute Resolution practice to represent clients in litigation and arbitration relating to construction claims, delay claims and contractual enforcement.
