Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP fields a dedicated team of experts in primary and secondary transactions involving public-private partnerships. The firm takes a multi-sector approach in representing a wide array of lenders, equity sponsors, procuring authorities and sub-contractors. Prowess in toll road PPPs is one of the hallmarks of the practice group, and it has also had a recent flow of notable rail project financing.
