Overview

We have acted for public authorities and private sector clients on transformative, complex and highly innovative major infrastructure projects for more than 20 years.

As result, we are leaders in the development and execution of major infrastructure projects and have helped build and shape communities across Canada and around the world. To date, our team has advised on infrastructure projects with a combined total value of over $50 billion.

Our team is at the forefront of current and emerging transaction models due to being one of the first law firms to advise on Public-Private Partnerships (P3) and Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) structures in Canada.
