Public utilities

The continued growth of Romanian towns and cities requires the installation and/or upgrade of utilities such as water, sewage systems and storm water management to meet the needs of residents and businesses alike.

We have represented international construction companies in complex public utility projects in several major and mid-sized Romanian cities, including in relation to repairs and extensions of public water supply systems and constructing and upgrading wastewater treatment plants and sewage systems. We have worked alongside our clients from the earliest stages of such projects assisting with the process of obtaining the project contract and assisting when the project has encountered difficulties that required dispute resolution.

We use our expertise and experience to help our clients reach the best possible outcome whatever the phase of the project.   

We have also advised municipalities in connection with granting access via concessions or PPP to private entities for the operation of public services such as waste, water and sewage.
