Nixon Peabody LLP

Nixon Peabody LLP fields a public finance team that acts in a breadth of PPPs. Public and private sector clients from across a wide spectrum of industries look to the practice for advice on procurement, financing and development. A strong tax offering is a further boon to clients. Co-leader of the group Virginia Wong has significant experience in P3s and infrastructure finance. Bonds, underwriters, financial institutions and banks are all regular clients and transport projects are a frequent feature of her workload. Fellow practice head Roderick Devlin excels in providing counsel to lenders for shortlisted bidders in substantial infrastructure builds. The practice heads are based at the New York office, while in Los Angeles, Rudy Salo is one of the most active advisors on transportation infrastructure from both policy and financing points of view. Dan Deaton is another key contact as bond, disclosure and underwriter’s counsel on transportation matters, and John Hutchinson is often lead tax counsel on P3s. Both Hutchinson and Deaton are at the New York office.
