State P3 statutes that differ materially in what they permit

Combining municipal, federal program, and private capital in one financing

We advise public authorities, agencies, and their delivery partners on the financing and governance of infrastructure — from P3 frameworks to individual projects and the public programs that support them.

US infrastructure is financed through a mix found nowhere else: municipal debt, federal credit programs, tax-advantaged structures, and private capital under state P3 statutes that differ from one state to the next. The financing question is usually which combination a particular project and jurisdiction actually allow.

Public sector advisory, P3 frameworks, and infrastructure structuring for public authorities across the Americas and their delivery partners.

Our approach

A disciplined approach to capital advisory

We work between the public program and the market — translating public objectives into structures lenders and investors can underwrite within the statutory framework available, and documenting them to institutional standards.

Assess

Evaluate policy objectives, delivery options, fiscal impact, and market appetite for public or PPP structures.

Structure

Design risk allocation, payment mechanisms, guarantee layers, and governance for bankable project or program delivery.

Mobilize

Run lender, DFI, and investor processes — term sheets, due diligence, and financial close coordination.

Transition

Support operations handover, covenant monitoring, and refinancing planning through the asset lifecycle.

Client outcomes

  • Programs translated into projects lenders and investors can underwrite
  • P3 frameworks with risk allocation the private sector will accept
  • Structures that fit the statutory and program requirements that apply
  • Governance and reporting that satisfy public and private financing partners
