Who we are

BA helps water companies, governments and investors successfully deal with the economic and regulatory issues related to the water and wastewater industry. We act as economic advisor during development of new laws, for restructuring and privatization processes, whether on the sell- or buy-side, often focusing on the design of concession contracts and on modeling their financial and tariff implications. We also help companies in the setting and defense of their rates in negotiation processes with the regulatory authority.

We offer expert advice and act as arbitrators in conflicts that normally arise during subsequent development of regulations and their application in cases of all sorts including the re-setting of rates and tariffs.
