Infrastructure and projects (including project finance)

Lauded for its ability to ‘find creative solutions’, CMS maintains a substantial transport infrastructure practice, regularly advising on new rail and mobility schemes, procurement and logistics matters, and the development and operation of major transport assets. Beyond transport, the team is also active across power and utilities mandates. David Moore is widely recognised for his project development expertise and is a standout specialist in the rail sector, while Iona Hunter and Sam Ridge provide strong support across the team’s full range of mandates. The ’very efficient and hands-on’ Keith Bullen is a key point of contact for government authorities, developers, and lenders.
