TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE
With strengths in: aviation
and space law, law of the sea, national and regional
transport issues, and shipping law.
For two decades AGS has played a significant role in the
privatisation and corporatisation of major government-owned
infrastructure, including airports, rail, hospitals and
energy facilities.
The privatisations have included diverse advice, arrangements
and structures including Commonwealth due diligence, facilitating
buyer due diligence, the public float of shares, trade
sales of shares, sales of assets, sale of long-term leases,
management and/or staff buy-out, and negotiating and liaising
with the Australian Securities Commission and the Australian
Stock Exchange.
In addition to considering the commercial aspects of such
transactions, AGS has assessed and addressed the complex
legal, government, legislative and public interest concerns
that arise in the course of such processes.
Projects in which we have been involved include:
- combined trade sale and public float of Qantas Airways
Limited
- Federal Airports sale phase 1, the sale of Melbourne,
Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney airports
- Federal Airports sale phase 2, the sale of a further
15 airports
- sale of National Rail Corporation Limited
- sale of Williamstown Naval Dockyard, including drafting
and negotiating new Anzac frigate contracts
- restructure and trade sale of Aerospace Technologies
of Australia Limited
- Moomba pipeline sale
- sale of Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation Limited
- corporatisation and restructure of Snowy Mountains
Hydro-electric Authority.
