Corporate Advisory Services - Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

Using our renowned expertise to design financing for public- and private-sector players

While PPP is commonly associated with periods of budgetary crises, it is more than simply a way to spread out the costs of public-sector investment. PPP is also an innovative way for public authorities to intervene in the economy. They are making more extensive use of it than they used to, through broad-based technical contracts that include financing. PPP helps execute certain major investments more rapidly, more efficiently and more economically. The PPP process now closely examines risk valuation aspects.

A forerunner in financial innovation

We have always been active in PPPs, and our assignments have allowed us to develop our expertise in a wide variety of legal-financial packages that show how prominent we are on this innovative segment.

Neutral and independent financial advisory

We have developed special expertise in designing financing for both public- and private-sector players, and we are able to tailor financing packages to each project’s constraints and challenges. Our financial advisory role in major PPPs calls on our capacity to develop a rigorous, neutral and objective approach, capacity that was recently recognised by our appointment as the exclusive financial advisor to the Public-private partnership support mission (MAPPP) of the French Ministry of the Economy and Finances as part of the government’s EUR 10 billion in guaranteed financing of priority projects.
