Designing and installing the governance framework, compliance programmes and implementation roadmaps, charter, policy and procedure suites KYC frameworks for corporate and individual parties, sanctions compliance instructions and screening protocols, route- and destination-specific regulatory risk analysis, and ESG policy.

Positioning a client correctly within the contractual chain of a landmark project. Main contracts, subcontracts, subconsultancy appointments, consortium and joint-venture structures on mega projects for nuclear and hydropower generation, bridges, motorways and tunnels, ports and airports, refineries and mining projects.

Land allocation and lease contracts with state airport authorities and private mega-hub operators, the construction of hangars, maintenance facilities and production units on allocated land, operating licences and airport working permits, and the customs and bonded warehouse interface for goods crossing the perimeter — together with the objections, administrative challenges and litigation that arise across all of it.

Acquiring, financing, leasing, maintaining and redelivering aircraft assets, security and certification formalities, airframe and engine purchase and sale, dry lease, wet lease and ACMI, charter, engine support arrangements, and manufacturer general terms agreements for maintenance, repair and overhaul through to registration, mortgage, insurance placement, redelivery and the operating certificate.

Contesting decisions of the bodies that grant, condition and withdraw the permissions a business depends on. Formal objections within administrative processes, challenges to allocation, lease and concession decisions, permit refusals and licence conditions, administrative fines, and the civil proceedings that run alongside them — conducted without rupturing a relationship the client will still need after the dispute closes.

Recovering value from counterparties whose principal assets can leave the jurisdiction. Provisional attachment and interim injunctions, enforcement with and without judgment, third-party debt notices and garnishment, evidence preservation and determination proceedings, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards, arbitration, mediation where the relationship is worth preserving.
