McMillan has a long history of leadership on government relations and public policy issues, which stems from our well-established relationships with key decision makers at all levels of government. Our lawyers regularly advise corporations, agencies, non-governmental organizations, associations and governments on government relations and public policy issues and have taken the lead in initiating changes to legislation in key areas of governmental activity, including taxation, competition law, business law, and regulation of foreign investment.
McMillan is also a market leader in privatisation and procurement. We are well-suited to assist on project planning, procurement, negotiating, and tendering. We have acted on transactions involving all types of public infrastructure arrangements including privatisations, outsourcing arrangements, public-private partnerships, alternative financing and procurement, concessions, leases and alternative financing structures.
