Overview

Given the increasingly complex nature of developing large sector capital projects, specialized legal support across all capital projects disciplines is indispensable for the successful development of a large infrastructure project.

We help clients realize their vision in developing major infrastructure projects through strategic and business-focused legal advice. Our strong regulatory, financing, corporate, and project development and execution team, combined with our domestic and international litigation and arbitration practices, provide full legal support to the industry in the hybrid realm of commercial law and dispute resolution. 

,,I would assess their performance as consistently the best I have worked with. In the time I have been working with Bennett Jones, I have not been disappointed.,,
