I focus my practice on the structuring, financing, and delivery of complex projects involving multiple parties. I have experience advising public agencies and project developers in connection with the procurement, construction, financing, and operations and maintenance of a variety of infrastructure and development projects. My past work has involved transportation, real estate, joint development, and value capture projects. My expertise includes advising on the use of public-private partnerships (P3 / PPP) and related alternative project delivery methods, including design-build contracting.
