Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) & Infrastructure: Building Puerto Rico's Future Through Strategic Collaboration

Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) and infrastructure development are vital drivers of economic growth and modernization in Puerto Rico. These complex initiatives, which bring together governmental entities and private sector expertise and resources, are essential for developing and improving critical infrastructure like transportation networks, energy facilities, and public buildings.

Navigating the legal, financial, and governmental intricacies of P3s and infrastructure projects in Puerto Rico requires specialized counsel with a deep understanding of both public needs and private sector capabilities.

At MZLS, our Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) & Infrastructure practice is at the forefront of guiding clients through these transformative projects in Puerto Rico. We possess invaluable real-world experience, having been actively involved in shaping the ways that public and private sector entities partner together on significant initiatives. This includes experience from both sides of the table, providing us with unique insights into the decision-making processes, financing tools, governing regulations, and public relations or political concerns that are inherent in P3s and infrastructure development.

We leverage this knowledge to help Puerto Rico evolve through successful P3 projects, contributing to the island's growth and resilience. Our team's experience includes advising on over $600M+ in infrastructure value involved in various projects, demonstrating our capacity to handle large-scale initiatives.

We provide strategic legal and advisory services across the entire lifecycle of P3s and infrastructure projects in Puerto Rico — from initial structuring and procurement to financing, contract compliance, and navigating regulatory and governmental challenges. Our holistic approach considers all facets of these complex collaborations, ensuring that legal strategies are integrated with project development, financing, and operational goals.
