ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Helping public entities and private enterprise build partnerships that lead to innovative and transformative infrastructure developments.

Public-private partnerships (P3s) balance risk, reward and responsibility among the public and private sectors. Each sector and each project brings its own unique financing, project delivery, real estate, environmental and federal, state and local government requirements. Clients want lawyers that will bring legal and strategic advantage to their complex projects—from conception and execution to close.

HOW WE HELP

We have extensive experience representing stakeholders in the development and redevelopment of large road, rail, and airport projects, and other public infrastructure, including stadiums, student housing, water, parking facilities, and mixed-use projects. Our team has been shortlisted twice in the “Best Legal Advisor” category by P3 Bulletin, which recognizes innovation and excellence in the field of P3.

Our P3 experience unites the capabilities of our infrastructure, construction, real estate, project finance, public finance, environmental, energy, insurance, and tax practices to provide holistic counsel across the wide range of issues encountered in connection with the development, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of P3 projects.

Understanding the complexities of risk allocation that drive successful P3s, our lawyers consistently add “out of the box” solutions to address the challenging issues unique to these dynamic projects.

EXPERIENCE

Members of our P3 team have represented a wide range of clients, including public authorities, sponsor entities, and design-build and operation and maintenance contractor entities on P3 projects. Recent experience includes:

Advised an equity member of a shortlisted proponent for the $2.1 billion I-10 Mobile River Bridge and Bayway Widening P3 in Alabama. The 11-mile revenue-risk project involves a new six-lane cable-stayed bridge, replacement of the existing interstate bayway, and five interchange modifications.

Advised a governmental entity on structuring and procuring a proposed P3 for new and expanded education facilities in conjunction with commercial development on the existing campus, to help fund capital costs and elevate private economic activity.
