King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) provides legal services for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects in an active response to the BRI proposed by President Xi Jinping in 2013. As an international, diverse and innovative legal service provider, KWM established the KWM Belt & Road Center for International Cooperation and Facilitation (BRCICF) in 2019 with an aim to connect the government and enterprises, and to provide high-quality professional services to both Chinese and foreign participators who want to explore the opportunity brought by the BRI. To date, KWM has advised on more than 1,000 BRI projects and matters, covering key sectors such as energy, transportation, information, infrastructure, finance, manufacturing and services in 65 countries along the Belt and Road.
KWM lawyers have written a number of articles on a range of legal issues and practices in BRI investment and financing, international engineering, dispute resolution, and energy investment based on their own practical experience in BRI projects. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of KWM China, BRCICF is releasing a series of publications on BRI law and practice. The BRI Law and Practice - International Engineering is the second volume of this series. This volume covers hot issues in the context of new infrastructure and energy transformation such as RCEP, overseas new energy and commercial satellite launch, and analyses practical legal issues such as contractor’s deferred payment financing, engineering disputes and asset-backed securitisation in Latin America. It is intended to provide an enlightening reference for readers interested in developing the BRI projects in the new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation.
