Clyde & Co has a strong portfolio of work relating to PFI/PPP projects, with an increased stream of work involving disputes arising from handbacks. Practice co-head Laura Coates is a key figure for PPP/PFI advice, regularly acting for lenders and contractors across a wide range of assets, particularly social infrastructure. Co-head Victoria Peckett’s practice spans both contentious and non-contentious construction issues, while Steve Cannon’s focus encompasses contentious PPP/PFI work, as well as non-contentious development and finance work. Lucy Frith is another go-to in the team for PPP/PFI disputes, acting for a range of energy, construction and engineering strategics. Ana Bonnington handles instructions relating to the operational-phase of PPP/PFI projects and is experienced acting on social infrastructure builds. Claire Mayo, who has a broad contentious and non-contentious construction remit, has recently been involved in healthcare, education and transport projects. Robert Meakin left the firm to take up an in-house role.
