Public-Private Partnerships: Northern Virginia

Northern Virginia municipalities are increasingly turning to public-private partnerships (PPP) to keep abreast of the growing infrastructure demand of the region. The attorneys of VF&N can assist local governments in Northern Virginia and the DC Metro Area, and their counsel, in the implementation of a wide range of PPP projects. Our attorneys are experienced in supporting public-private partnerships across a broad range of infrastructure sectors that include hospitals, toll roads and tunnels, water treatment plants, and airports.  The law firm of VF&N is a trusted advisor in PPP project delivery.

The PPP Life Cycle

Because PPP transactions are generally long-term infrastructure development projects, municipalities need experienced legal advisors to keep the working relationships among the project participants strong throughout the entire process. VF&N offers a wide array of services to aid our clients throughout the entire life cycle of a PPP project from the initial steps of vetting the viability a project for a PPP structure and due diligence of the project partners, to long-term operational phases. Our team at VF&N can also support the development of the financing structure, contract drafting and negotiations, land procurement, and construction oversight.
