Leveraging Public-Private Partnerships for Project Development: Deal Structures and Documentation

The public sector has recently implemented innovative uses of P3s to meet the challenges of decaying facilities and infrastructure against declining public revenues. More states have passed broad laws enabling their use for construction of a wide range of public projects.

New opportunities require potential private partners to understand the many different P3 structures, each of which allocate risk and control differently. Counsel must also be able to navigate the documentation processes to minimize risks for the projects.

Brandon Davis discussed how counsel to private developers and investors can knowledgeably leverage the opportunities of P3 projects, decide which is the optimal deal structure and best practices for P3 documentation to mitigate risk.
