other sectors: Pfi/projects

We take the view that the levering in of private sector resource and funding to the provision of public services is here to stay, and we committed ourselves to the Government’s Private Finance Initiative from its very early days, having for instance acted for the successful bid consortium on the first grouped schools pfi project to complete in England.

Since then, members of our projects team have played a leading role in key pfi/ppp projects in almost every sector, particularly education, health, police, transport, waste and defence.

Our current projects include:

• acting for a County Council on a significant grouped schools project
• acting for a number of FE and HE institutions on the provision of new facilities and student accommodation PPP projects
• acting for a passenger transport executive on two light rail pfi projects

Led by Catherine Burke, and with over 20 lawyers possessing every area of legal expertise likely to be necessary for the successful delivery of major projects, our projects team has the experience, expertise and depth of resource to advise public bodies, bid consortia and funders on the most challenging of projects, and we can provide partner led, City quality of service at regional rates.
