Lindy Day

Lindy heads up the diverse experience of the projects and infrastructure team, which provides advisory and transactional support in the consenting, development, financing and operation of projects. The team has experience across a range of sectors, including energy, transport, water and waste management, and represents a diverse client base ranging from multinationals and institutions to entrepreneurs and private individuals.

Lindy’s work has a particular focus on the ports industry, which includes advising on and documenting arrangements for the import, use and export of a range of cargos, the upgrading and replacement of port-specific equipment and infrastructure, and the sector-specific statutory regime.
