PPP Challenges and Opportunities in the UK and on a Global Stage

Alison Fagan, Jenny Harrison, Karim Ghaly KC, Richard Knight and Tamsyn McLean will explore why PPPs (Public-Private Partnerships) are back on the agenda, what the UK PFI lifecycle teaches about risk in operation, expiry and handback, and the practical role (and limits) of relational contracting.

We’ll also tackle the hard edges of long-term infrastructure disputes (limitation, latent defects and handback) and the dispute avoidance and resolution tools that help preserve project stability, from escalation and expert processes to adjudication and arbitration.
