Infrastructure development is central to the growth of Papua New Guinea’s “tiger” economy and is a priority area for the government as it strives for economic and social growth.

With the government facilitating the entry of public-private partnerships (PPP) and outsourcing the design and build, opportunities are opening up for the private sector to take on transport infrastructure upgrades, social infrastructure development, and the construction of utilities infrastructure.

To capitalize on the opportunity, call on the longest-serving international legal team in the country—one that has worked on many of the country’s major infrastructure projects.

Rely on a team that for decades has advised the Independent State of Papua New Guinea, its state-owned enterprises, and the holding company of its state-owned enterprises, as well as major multinational developers, investors and financial institutions. 

Know that you are working with a firm that has been involved in all major legislative developments since the 1960s, and has advised both the Asian Development Bank and PNG Government on PPP reform since 2009. 

Allow us to guide you on the issues arising from:

• Project structuring
• Due diligence and risk management
• Government negotiations
• Commercial contracts
• Financing
• Environmental and landowner issues
• Construction
• Employment
• Regulatory compliance including workplace health and safety
• Dispute resolution 

With global offices, multinational clients have resources close to their corporate headquarters.

To ensure your infrastructure project’s success, call on us.
