Alternate Path was created to be a champion of those who yearn to shape the future.

We enable people with bold visions to shape legacies and spearhead change.

We create strategic pathways for opportunities in emerging industries, markets, and technology, powered by our profound experience and influential relationships.

Alternate Path was launched in 2023 to provide strategic support and structuring advice for bold projects and ideas in the energy, infrastructure, and transport sectors.

We understand the challenges and opportunities for projects, from structuring large and innovative projects to attract investment to building relationships with key stakeholders and negotiating commercial agreements, government procurement and approvals processes, and the interaction of legal, commercial, tax, and financial issues for project proponents.
