Kaplan Kirsch advises clients on the full spectrum of public-private partnership projects (P3s and PPPs), including those using availability payment, revenue risk and long-term concession models. We regularly represent public authorities and select private clients across the country with a particular focus on projects that entail novel challenges or circumstances that demand tailored solutions. Our experience includes advising on progressive public-private partnerships as well as the use of pre-development agreements (PDAs). Our P3 practice is unusual because it constitutes an integrated part of a cohesive, fully aligned projects ‘first and only’ firm. Practically, this means that we can offer extensive, relevant P3 experience together with complementary subject-matter expertise in a range of areas relevant to the success of a complex P3 project structure.
Our firm is the only U.S. firm of less than 100 attorneys consistently ranked nationwide by Chambers & Partners, the leading global provider of law firm rankings, for our work advising public-private partnership projects. This reflects the experience of our lawyers, who have advised on dozens of P3 projects, with values ranging from less than $100 million to several billion dollars. Our experience spans airport facilities of all kinds of assets, including airport privatizations, terminal development projects, and consolidated rent-a-car facilities (ConRACs), rail, transit, and highway projects, higher education and government facilities developments. We also work on integrated real estate and public infrastructure developments, including convention center, hotel and entertainment facility developments, as well as water, broadband and energy related projects, among others.
