David Horner serves as the global head of Hunton’s Public-Private Partnerships and Infrastructure Practice. Recognized by Chambers USA as a “Leader in the Field” (Band 1) in the category of USA Projects: PPP (Nationwide), David is one of the few practitioners in the US PPP market with combined experience in the transactional, public policy, and federal regulatory aspects of infrastructure public-private partnerships. David is described by clients as “stellar,” “extremely professional and dedicated,” as well as having “a unique combination of expertise,” and being “able to take extremely complex subjects and make them easy to understand.” (Chambers USA 2024-2025).

David represents sponsors in the sale and acquisition of infrastructure concessions as well as governments and sponsors in PPP procurements of large-scale infrastructure projects. His experience extends across multiple sectors, including airports, energy, rail, and toll roads.

In July 2025, David was appointed by US Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy to serve on the US Department of Transportation Advisory Board. He currently represents the owner of New York Penn Station in its procurement of a Master Developer and subsequent development of the $6 billion New York Penn Station Transformation Project. David also advises PPP clients on a range of federal matters, particularly on legal issues of first impression in relation to the acceptance of federal credit assistance and grant funding in the PPP context.
