Nadine Thornton Authors Article in Law360 on Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure Projects

10.18.16
Corporate Associate Nadine Thornton published an article in Law360 titled “PPPs: Structuring For Efficient Infrastructure Renewal.” The article discusses infrastructure in the United States, and the advantages and disadvantages of the formation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) on the sector. With the adaptation of pro-PPP policies and uniform laws in key cities and states such as Chicago, Nadine notes that PPPs are beginning to fill the gap in infrastructure spending, and are predicted to keep growing. Nadine describes ways in which PPPs could be structured to mitigate the disadvantages of the partnership. Some solutions she provides include the maximization on investment and stability, increasing equity contributions for private partners, and public partners acting as guarantors for private partner debt.
