Ascente advises investors, developers, lenders, operators, contractors and public-sector bodies on infrastructure projects and investments. We combine extensive experience of complex projects with expertise in transactions, financing, public procurement and regulatory matters.
“Our experience dates back to some of the projects that introduced new financing models and forms of public-private partnership to the Swedish market. Since then, both infrastructure itself and the ways in which it is financed have evolved. Today, our work spans traditional transport and public infrastructure as well as digital infrastructure and data centres. These projects often bring together issues relating to land, energy and grid capacity with financing, contractual arrangements and regulatory requirements.”

Infrastructure projects are often capital-intensive, long-term undertakings involving numerous contractors. The way a project is structured, financed and procured, how risks are allocated and the applicable regulatory framework can have implications for many years. Decisions made at an early stage may affect not only the delivery of the project, but also its future operation and the value of the investment.
Our advice covers every stage of a project and investment, from structuring, procurement and financing to delivery, acquisition, sale and operation. We also advise on renegotiations, refinancing and disputes.
