Construction & Project Development

Construction and project development has long been one of our cornerstone practice areas

Construction and project development is a long-standing pillar practice of the firm, with coverage extending to real estate, infrastructure and PPP, energy, public facilities, and industrial factories, among other sectors. By virtue of our sizable pool of professionals, specialized expertise, expansive experience, and persistent research, we have long remained a leading name in this area with highly-regarded partners in every sub-area. We have advised on numerous landmark and high-profile projects that have garnered national, and in some cases international, recognition. Notably examples include Beijing Olympic stadiums, China Zun Tower, Shanghai Disney Resort, Beijing Universal Studios, CCTV Headquarters, and the National Museum of China.

Our practice in the arenas of real estate, construction, energy, and infrastructure have consistently received Band 1 recommendations from respectable legal media and rating agencies, including Chambers, ALB, The Legal 500, and IFLR1000, and repeatedly bagged prestigious awards such as the Real Estate Law Firm of the Year and the Real Estate and Construction Deals of the Year.

In terms of project development, we are one of the few law firms that boast professional expertise and strong team synergy in every aspect of urban renewal, comprehensive land development, land grant, project investment and financing, construction and engineering, project transfer, M&As, operation and management, and dispute resolution. In construction and engineering, we became a trailblazer by developing a brand-new full-service mode that covers contract planning, tendering, contract review and negotiation, contract performance management, construction claims, inspection and delivery, and final settlement, winning unwavering trust of our clients.

Amid the blistering development of China’s outbound investment, we have worked side by side with Chinese investors and contractors in their "going global" initiatives. In this process, we have gained deep understanding of and substantial experience in dealing with the market environment for and legal issues involved in overseas projects. We have delivered the entire gamut of legal services to a large number of Chinese companies in their "going global" campaigns, covering their energy, mining, industrial, infrastructure, and civil construction projects in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, South America, North America, and Europe.
