Provided by Dentons Canada LLP
Dentons’ Infrastructure & PPP team is one of the largest and most experienced of any law firm in Canada. Members of our groups have advised private sponsors, public authorities, lenders, design-build contractors and equipment manufacturers, as well as operations and maintenance providers on large-scale infrastructure projects in every industry sector across Canada and worldwide. We work on some of the biggest projects in Canadian history with the Department of Justice Canada, including, the High Frequency Rail project, the Sinclair Centre Rehabilitation project, the proposed Air Canada acquisition of Air Transat, New Bridge for the St. Lawrence Corridor (New Champlain Bridge) project, the Gordie Howe Bridge project, and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project in Ontario to name a few. That being said, Dentons Infrastructure & PPP team’s legitimacy and strategic counsel in the infrastructure industry has made them the first choice of many prominent and leading and innovating infrastructure and construction companies regionally, nationally and internationally. Our expertise advising on PPP projects in Canada has successfully transferred to both sophisticated markets that have yet to adopt PPP structures (including many US States) as well as emerging markets (including Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean and Asia).
