Key considerations
The first questions are about urgency, governance and preservation — before collection expands or interviews begin.
- Scope — Infrastructure project structures, concession arrangements and interfaces with public utility regulation and government approvals.
- Immediate task — Separate project-contract rights from regulatory approvals and concession obligations.
- Boundary — If another practice owns a distinct issue, use Related topics below rather than duplicating that analysis here.
Decision map
Keep the question bounded.
- Map the project and public roleIdentify the infrastructure asset, project company, government counterparty, investors, financing, user charges and the legal basis for the concession.
- Separate contract from approvalsCollect concession and project agreements alongside investment, land, planning, environmental, construction and utility approvals and tariff decisions.
- Stress-test lifecycle obligationsReview construction milestones, service standards, tariff adjustment, change in law, government support, financing step-in, early termination and asset handback.
