For more than 20 years, we have performed intense work with the infrastructure required for society to function at its best: Utility systems, roads, railways, ports and airports. We are very proud to have been involved in all the largest construction projects in recent years, and we naturally use our knowledge and experience on new projects, whether such deal with the construction of a municipal bicycle path or the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link.

We advise on infrastructure from A to Z. 

Any infrastructure project has a natural cycle, and our advisory services usually begin with the conclusion of the political agreement and the drafting of the statutory framework required and continue through project planning, tender procedures, construction and operation.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Preparatory legislative work
• Financing, including PPPs and expansion agreements
• Analysis of area and rights issues
• Handling of planning and environmental law issues
• Compulsory acquisition and the law of adjoining properties
• Taxes and VAT
• Relocation of utility lines
• Handling of interfaces in construction and operation phases
• Procurement
• Construction
• Dispute resolution, including legal proceedings and valuation cases
• Data protection
• Administration pursuant to the Danish Act on Railway Operation, the Danish Roads Act, etc.
• Administrative law issues, such as charges, delegation and access to documents.

Close cooperation between the construction authority and its advisers is key irrespective of whether a bicycle path or a fixed link across Fehmarn Belt is to be constructed. The other stakeholders of the infrastructure project, such as politicians, citizens and the press , must also constantly be in focus. 

We are used to generating close and long-term cooperative relations, jointly creating the best solutions. Even though infrastructure projects are always deeply rooted in one practice group of Bech-Bruun, we of course apply all our in-house skills.
