Public Private Partnership

Complex, large-scale projects are increasingly taking the form of public private partnerships. These projects require widely varying kinds of legal, technical and financial expertise. To provide optimal support to PPP projects, we have created a multi-disciplinary group which combines all the necessary legal expertise on a project-by-project basis. We focus on the topics of greatest relevance for this area, including public procurement law, state aid, contracts, corporate law and tax-related aspects.

Pro-active approach

We advise both governmental and market-sector parties and have provided comprehensive legal support to highly successful projects in the area of urban development, the construction of highways, railroads and industrial complexes, and the renewal of urban centres. We adapt our approach to the dynamics of the project at hand and take a leading, pro-active role in the legal process. The same applies to our approach to collaboration with specialists from other disciplines like financial and technical advisors. Broad experience and seamless collaboration with other disciplines enables us to provide your PPP project with the most effective legal support throughout.
