Norton Advises On Bahrain Water Treatment Project

By Rob Morris on March 9, 2010 – 10:08 am

The law firm is acting as legal representative for a public-private partnership project in the Kingdom.

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) in Bahrain has appointed law firm Norton Rose to advise on one of the country’s water treatment plants.

Norton Rose will provide legal advice for the privatisation, rehabilitation and upgrade of the Tubil wastewater treatment plant in Bahrain.

International bank HSBC and consulting specialist Fichtner are also involved, as financial and technical adviser respectively, in the public-private partnership (PPP) project. Both are currently working on the Muharraq, another wastewater PPP project in Bahrain that was launched by the MoF and Ministry of Works.

The Tubil and Muharraq wastewater treatment projects are part of Bahrain government’s privatisation strategy of the sanitation industry, representing the country’s first PPPs in this sector.
