An increasing number of infrastructure projects are being carried out as public private partnerships or as life cycle projects. In these ventures, a state or municipal authority purchases design, construction, maintenance and possibly financing services as a comprehensive package.
We have been involved in nearly all of the PPP and life cycle projects carried out in Finland. Our clients include project authorities, sponsors, contractors and equity and debt financiers. Thus, we understand the viewpoints of the different parties involved and the goals they have. We are our clients’ partner from the strategic planning stage through the implementation of the transaction. We are adept at identifying risks and determining the terms and conditions under which a venture is feasible. Our lawyers are well versed in both Finnish and international market practices and use that knowledge to find practical and workable solutions.
PPP and life cycle projects are often complicated and require legal expertise in several fields. In addition to a knowledge of finance law and construction and project expertise, PPP ventures require a mastery of, for example, procurement, environmental and private equity issues. Our experts are experienced in all of the legal fields required by PPP and life cycle ventures. In necessary, we also provide our clients project management support.
