    Transport

    Our construction team has built up a considerable reputation in the field of transport and infrastructure. This is reflected in our acting for major clients, including government and local authorities. Despite this success, we still maintain the priority focus that made us successful in the first place – delivering the best legal service available for you and your transport project.

    We work within a wider multidisciplinary team, bringing together expertise from property, public and private sector funding, commercial and corporate law, planning law, EU procurement, state aid and tax to provide you with a seamless service, tailored to ensure you meet your goals.
