Current demand for the expansion of port facilities at a global level is a direct result of the increasing economic growth of emerging countries and the continuing trend of commerce globalisation. Airport infrastructures, very diverse in nature, are also in growing demand, requiring in-depth knowledge of each structure to determine available commercial and legal options.
More than a global view of the markets and applicable legal and regulatory frameworks, our lawyers have deep knowledge of the commercial intricacies involved in each industry, making them the natural choice for sponsors, developers, buyers and sellers.
VdA’s cross-practice teams provide our clients with one sole point of contact, where legal issues involved in the construction of ports and airports and the expansion and operation of existing ones, are dealt with comprehensively.
Drawing upon lawyers in our infrastructures’ practice as well as the expertise of other top tier practices in the firm, we address the regulatory, planning and environmental, finance, construction and operational issues entailed in these infrastructures, notably in the lusophone and francophone African jurisdictions where we operate through VdA Legal Partners.
