Practices

Project Finance. Public Private Partnership

The practice of PPP requires control of its various technical, legal, financial and tax issues. In particular, it requires a confirmed expertise not only based on a thorough knowledge of the most classic administrative law but also law and taxation of innovative financing techniques.

Our firm is in this logic by developing a special skill in the most complex and innovative projects in connection with the various forms of management of public service and public domain (public procurement, delegations of public services, concession, BOT, farmout, partnership agreements, State owned- domain conventions and other complex contractual arrangements), in many industries such as:

– Telecommunications
– Water
– Logistics and Transport
– Culture, Sport and Leisure
– Energies
– Environment
– Construction and Building Management
– Urban Services

From conception to implementation, we are seeing both private and public entities at all stages of their projects, both national and international in the following steps:

– Legal feasibility study on the institutional and regulatory framework of the project (appreciation of the rights and obligations of the parties in the proposed contract scheme, forms of concession and management of public infrastructures, rules and procedures for the management and development of concession, structuring consortia and project companies, contract design and risk allocation, domaniality and taxation of infrastructures, bankability of projects against the donors, cases and practical issues);
– Preparation of invitation to tender file and prequalification file;
– Preparation of legal documentation  (concession contract, specifications, securities, novation agreement, shareholders agreement, etc.);
– Support for negotiation of project agreements and closing ;
