High levels of capital investment in railways and the legacy of the McNulty cost reduction agenda have combined to create opportunities and challenges for rail infrastructure businesses.
Our team of leading rail lawyers has a strong reputation for providing straightforward advice on complex legal issues surrounding rail infrastructure. The team's experience, built up over the years since privatisation, covers all aspects of infrastructure and rail real estate. We advise clients on a wide range of issues and provide constructive and proactive advice to guide them efficiently and effectively though transactions relating to new railway infrastructure, stations, depots and other railway facilities.
A key aim of the Shaw Report is to encourage private capital investment into the UK railway. The combination of our comprehensive understanding of the UK rail industry and experience of dealing with major rail infrastructure projects means that we are uniquely placed to advise on such investments.
More broadly, as well as dealing with projects involving the regeneration of railway stations, our team also advises clients on regeneration and redevelopment projects at and around railway stations.
