Public Private Partnerships

We have been actively involved as lead legal adviser in the majority of large privately-financed infrastructure projects implemented in New Zealand in recent years.

Our specialists have backgrounds in the construction, commercial property, transport, water and waste-water, mining and energy, telecommunications, and project finance sectors. This industry knowledge means we are well-placed to advise a range of key players, including owners, developers, government agencies, project sponsors, financiers, contractors, operators, and maintainers.
