Case Study
Royal North Shore Hospital PPP project
Our construction and infrastructure team was involved in the largest health PPP to reach financial close to date in New South Wales and the largest social infrastructure scheme to conclude in Australia in 2008. They acted for a member of the successful consortium, providing construction and commercial advice.
The team’s ability to undertake detailed and complex risk analysis in a highly competitive and commercial environment was fundamental.
