Transport Transactional
There are some exciting opportunities in the global transport
market. In some markets authorities need to invest in
crumbling infrastructure to accommodate growth in demand. In
other markets new transport infrastructure for passengers and
freight are being designed and built. There are many
different options which are available to satisfy this transport
development and demand – for example roads, rail, metros, buses,
taxis and air travel. Added to this, transport has to be
sustainable, bearing in mind the potential impacts on the
environment.
Many transactions arise out of these opportunities. New
companies and joint ventures are formed to pursue tenders for new
roads, railways and transport concessions. They need equity
and debt finance to support their commitments. Consolidation
is also apparent with mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures from
some of the largest players. This leads to competition or
anti-trust implications on a global scale, which need to be
navigated carefully. More than ever, budget-constrained
governments are looking to involve the private sector in their
transport plans –- leading to more PPP projects as well as
privatizations.
From high-speed rail in the US or metro concessions in Africa,
from railway franchising in the UK to large-scale transport
development in the Middle East or an airport in eastern Europe, the
SNR Denton multi-disciplinary transport team can help our clients
to understand the transport markets in the places they want to be
and help them to be in the best position to complete the
