We advise governments, developers, lenders and investors on Public‑Private Partnership (PPP) projects across their full life cycle, from procurement and structuring through delivery and dispute resolution. We support PPPs worldwide and across sectors, drawing on experience advising all sides of these projects and coordinating multidisciplinary, cross‑border teams.

End‑to‑End PPP Experience

We have acted for public authorities, private sponsors, and financiers on projects across multiple jurisdictions, including the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This allows us to benchmark new projects against established approaches and best practices from around the world.

Our experience includes advising on:

• Procurement and project structuring
• PPP policies, procedures, and guidelines
• Contract documentation and risk allocation
• Project development, delivery, and implementation
• Dispute avoidance and dispute resolution

Sector Focus and Project Depth

We advise on PPPs across a wide range of infrastructure and social sectors, with particular experience in:

• Transport, roads, airports, ports, rail, and related facilities
• Water and sewage treatment
• Waste and waste‑to‑energy
• Accommodation, universities, schools and social infrastructure
• Telecommunications
• District energy, utilities 
• Industrial projects

Our lawyers are familiar with both concession‑based and unitary‑payment project models and regularly assist with PPP and quasi‑PPP structures tailored to local market requirements.

Experience Advising Governments and Investors

Our team has advised governments on the preparation of PPP procurement strategies, policies, procedures, and guidelines in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and Australia, including contributing to internationally used PPP tools and frameworks. In newer markets, we often support pathfinder projects that establish precedents for future PPP development.

Integrated Global Delivery

PPP projects frequently require coordinated advice across legal disciplines and jurisdictions. Lawyers from across our offices and practice groups work together as a single team, enabling us to combine project finance, construction, regulatory, real estate and dispute‑resolution experience as needed for each engagement. Where appropriate, we can draw on the firm’s disputes practice for support on contentious or risk‑sensitive aspects of PPP projects.

Our team includes multilingual lawyers, including fluent Arabic, French and Spanish speakers, with experience advising on local‑law issues in cross‑border PPP transactions.
