Public infrastructure projects such as roads, hospitals, and schools are increasingly built and managed through public/private partnerships (P3). These arrangements are complex, demanding breadth and depth of legal expertise in project finance, outsourcing, and design/build/finance/operate arrangements.
The P3 Group at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP has experience in alternative funding and P3 projects worldwide, representing governments, public sector institutions, lenders, and project sponsors. Knowing "the other side" helps us anticipate client needs, and advise them on what works—and what doesn’t. Lenders seek to minimize unquantifiable risk: we have special expertise in risk allocation. Implications of labour action, design issues, and operating concerns must all be assessed, quantified and shared. Negotiating those arrangements is where we shine.
Our knowledge of the U.K. Private Finance Initiative and our experience advising on some of the earliest Canadian P3 projects gives us a keen awareness of issues that arise and the problem-solving techniques needed to resolve them. And our national practice group gives seamless service no matter where the project, the sponsors, or the financiers are located. Should tax, environmental, or public policy issues crop up, the resources of our full service firm are at our clients’ service.
