About

Provided by Norton Rose Fulbright

Norton Rose Fulbright has one of Canada’s leading infrastructure and public-private partnerships (PPP/P3) practices, with lawyers who are focused on providing clients with guidance on how to advance their projects while reducing risks.

We advise project sponsors and developers, bidding consortia, operators, lenders, investors and governments on various infrastructure projects, including significant public-private partnerships in connection with some of the largest and most innovative projects in the world. These projects range from railways, toll roads and airports to hospitals, educational, recreational and correctional facilities and municipal water and heating infrastructures. This is evident in the strength and depth of our practice, and the calibre of projects in which our lawyers are taking on leading roles.
