Ogier has acted as Guernsey legal adviser to Equitix on the establishment of several co-investment structures which, alongside Equitix Fund IV and other consortium members, acquired stakes in the HS1 high speed rail line and, separately, the M25 orbital motorway network.

The HS1 concession runs to 2040 and has an enterprise value of over £3bn.  HS1 includes the iconic London St Pancras train station and consists of a 109 km high speed rail line connecting London to a high speed commuter service throughout Kent and to European cities via the Channel Tunnel.

Bryon Rees (Partner) led the Ogier team with the assistance of Michelle Watson-Bunn (Senior Associate) and Caleb Holder (Associate), working with lead onshore counsel Ashurst LLP.
