Blake Dawson's Infrastructure team is recognised as a leader in its field. Many of Australia's largest infrastructure providers and financiers rely on us to deliver ‘end to end’ solutions that contribute to their success. We regularly handle some of the most intense, complex and demanding infrastructure projects for governments and the private sector throughout Australia.

Our infrastructure project development and delivery experience spans transport, commercial property, resources & energy, water and waste management, and social infrastructure.  We also have significant experience in all aspects of PPPs, having acted for governments, contractors, financiers and consortia on landmark projects such as Tugun Bypass, Newcastle Coal Export Terminal, NSW Rolling Stock, Chatswood Transport Interchange and the Hume Highway Duplication.

Our specialty is offering a flexible and integrated approach across infrastructure projects. Legal advice cannot be provided in isolation. We understand how advice is relevant to the project throughout its life and at each stage of its life - from project conception through feasibility studies, strategic planning, approvals, delivery, operation and finally disposal or decommissioning.

We see our deep experience and unique industry insight as the key to providing sophisticated advice to successfully deliver the most complex projects. This has made our team synonymous with excellence, innovation & leadership in infrastructure project delivery.
