An Independent Strategic Advisory Group

Vieney serves private capital and international business. Our work concerns decisions affected by commercial exposure or stakeholder behaviour.

Senior international advisers contribute when their experience bears directly on the matter.

Advice Directed at the Decision

  • Start With the Decision

    Research is limited to information capable of affecting the client’s choice.

  • Understand the Interests

    We examine the interests governing stakeholder behaviour and identify where movement is possible.

  • Select Relevant Experience

    Vieney appoints international advisers according to the demands of the mandate.

  • Stay Close to the Action

    We remain involved as the client negotiates or executes the chosen course.

When commercial pressure changes the decision, experienced counsel matters.

Selected Mandates

Integrated Mining Infrastructure in Simandou, Guinea

Vieney advised an international participant in Simandou as the project marked the start of operations in November 2025. The mandate concerned the client’s commercial position within the shared rail and port arrangements. Vieney examined the client’s dependence on that infrastructure and the governance surrounding access. A senior adviser led the work and prepared the client for engagement with relevant counterparties. Simandou combines iron ore production with more than 600 kilometres of trans-Guinean rail and associated port facilities.

Irrigation Dam PPP in Crete, Greece

Vieney is advising a participant in Greece's irrigation dam programme as the government moves a new generation of concessions into implementation. The mandate concerned the client's position in a public-private partnership to develop the Chochlakia reservoir and the Agios Ioannis dam, together with associated irrigation networks, in the Lasithi region of Crete. Vieney examined the client's exposure to the design, financing, construction and long-term operating obligations set out in the concession, and coordinated advice on project finance and legal matters. A senior adviser led the work as the €87.9 million contract was signed with the Greek Ministry of Rural Development and Food in August 2026. The scheme is Greece's fourth irrigation PPP to reach implementation, and the first to combine dam construction and an irrigation network under a single concession.
