Eversheds Sutherland’s projects and PPP team is a go-to for state bodies and agencies looking for advice on projects in the social housing and education sectors. Another area of strength is advising private sector companies on the procurement of large infrastructure projects and data centres. Peter Curran has longstanding experience of advising public and private sector entities on the commercial and regulatory aspects of major PPP matters and jointly heads the team with energy sector expert Mark Varian. Conall McLoughlin is known for his expertise in construction and infrastructure law. Jennifer Burke advises government bodies on climate change projects, while Phelim McGeady focuses on acquisition and financing transactions in the construction sector. The team was further bolstered in February 2024 by the arrival of Seán Scally, who has significant strength in the development and financing of energy and infrastructure projects, from Matheson LLP.
