Infrastructure development is a topic of significant community interest. There is increasing demand for improved road and rail transport, health, education, prisons and other justice facilities, water and waste management facilities and social infrastructure.

These projects are in the spotlight of community scrutiny, they involve significant sums of money, are commercially and legally complex and involve negotiations catering for the needs of diverse stakeholders. They demand not only legal expertise, but a commercial and strategic approach to the project as a whole.

CBP's team has significant experience in all aspects of public private partnership transactions. We bring an understanding of all government policy, commercial considerations, legal principles and a strategic approach to ensure the success of each project.
