Public Private Partnerships (P3)

Having served government and private sector clients for decades, Stites & Harbison is well-positioned to deliver legal counsel to the public-private partnership (P3) market. As government entities at all levels face funding challenges for infrastructure, transportation, and other needs, private sector financial support provides an alternative resource for a multitude of projects whereby private companies take on what was once a traditionally public role. Our attorneys maintain an in-depth understanding of P3 projects from their inception through completion.

Stites & Harbison regularly represents developers, construction companies, environmental and engineering companies, municipalities, investors, and lenders in all aspects of public-private partnerships including:

• Project tendering;
• Screening;
• Deal structuring;
• Financing;
• Legislative/Regulatory drafting;
• Economic and tax incentives;
• Negotiations;
• Eminent domain;
• Design/Build;
• Environmental issues;
• Asset management;
• Compliance issues; and
• Dispute resolution.

Additionally, our attorneys have a far-reaching network throughout the United States which includes connections with federal, state and local government principals, P3 concessionaires, investors, and design-builders. Our deep relationships with both the public sector and private sector positions us as a valuable team member for P3 projects.
