Strategic legal and commercial advice for infrastructure projects.
Top tier advice, without the big firm baggage
Our unique business model
Infralegal’s business model is fundamentally different to the Big Law hackney.
When you engage Infralegal, you draw on Owen’s experience, commercial acumen and network at the highest levels, all at a fraction of the cost of a Big Law equivalent.
The expertise of a top tier firm without juniors and overheads.
Access to expert collaborators – selected as the best in the industry – but only when you need them.
Legal advice seasoned with commercial experience from project conception to delivery and operation.
We advise on how to succeed. Infralegal is a strategic advisor, not a legal naysay.
Infralegal is most valuable when the stakes are high.
