Ross has been advising governments, sponsors and lenders on P3s and alternative delivery models for over 20 years in the USA, Australia, and the UK. He has been lead counsel on numerous first-of-their kind P3s in each of these jurisdictions and advised on a wide variety of infrastructure assets including, airports, rail and rolling stock, roads, flood control, hospitals, schools, housing, and waste management.
