After ten years of working closely alongside public clients in developing and delivering major infrastructure projects and managing the operations and maintenance of infrastructure, first as a consultant and now an attorney, I understand the complexity of project delivery and the challenges that my clients face on a daily basis. I am able to approach the legal aspect of a project within the multifaceted context of policy, engineering, financial, and management that constantly shapes a project throughout its development and delivery.

Viktor Zhong’s practice focuses on development and delivery of major infrastructure projects that involve multiple parties. He has experience advising public clients with procurement and contracting for professional services, construction, and operations and maintenance of infrastructure projects using various delivery methods, including design-build and public-private partnership (“P3” or “PPP”). He has developed a strong focus on public transit and passenger rail through his past work at a large infrastructure consulting firm prior to joining Kaplan Kirsch. He spent ten years advising public transit authorities and state and local governments in capital project development and delivery, governance and institutional design, funding and financing, and procurement and contracting.
