Practices

PPP/PFI

We have been advising on major commercial developments and projects for many years, from social infrastructure, health, roads, prisons and local authority buildings, to chemical and industrial plants and other infrastructure projects such as power stations, offshore structures, pipelines and wind farms.  In recent years, we have also been acting for public bodies and private sector contractors on some innovative and complex PFI projects for new accommodation, housing, transport links, technology services and other infrastructure developments.

Our clients include developers, financiers, equity participants, sponsors, main contractors and construction professionals. We advise both the private sector and central and local government promoters and therefore appreciate the needs and interests of both sides.

We deal with all aspects of a project including:

  • structure
  • funding
  • public procurement
  • tender documentation
  • construction and project management arrangements
  • operation and maintenance agreements
  • consultant’s appointments
