Government Advisory | Projects & Infrastructure

At Collarband, we bring a deep understanding of the complexities involved in public infrastructure, healthcare, and policy-driven legal matters. Over the years, we have continuously evolved our advisory practice to meet the dynamic needs of government bodies, public institutions, and infrastructure stakeholders. From representing clients in high-stakes disputes to shaping large-scale policy initiatives, our experience spans the full spectrum.

We offer end-to-end legal advisory services across all phases of infrastructure projects—from conceptual planning to on-ground

implementation. Our team works alongside government entities to ensure projects are developed within a legally robust, transparent, and equitable framework. We assist in structuring concession agreements, managing third-party engagement, and mitigating potential legal challenges—today and in the future.

Our strength lies in our ability to integrate seamlessly with both governmental and non-governmental agencies, including strategic collaborations with think tanks and leading consultancy firms such as the Big Four. These partnerships allow us to deliver measurable outcomes while driving systemic transformation.

As part of our commitment to public service, we’ve contributed significantly to several pioneering infrastructure projects. One such milestone was our advisory role with the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) on its first public-private partnership (PPP) water supply project in Salt Lake. This initiative not only involved laying a comprehensive pipeline network but also setting up a sewage treatment plant, substantially improving the quality of life in the area.

Our work has also included advising the Kolkata Municipal Corporation under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), enabling faster and more efficient urban development across targeted zones. Additionally, we provided legal guidance to the West Bengal Medical Services Corporation in setting up 21 advanced healthcare institutions across the state, supported by funding under the Backward Region Growth Fund.

Whether it’s drafting tender documents, negotiating contracts, or advising on regulatory frameworks, our approach is always rooted in accountability, innovation, and public interest. At Collarband, we don’t just provide legal advice—we help build the future.
