Infrastructure

We helped build Atlantic Canada. Stewart McKelvey lawyers have been involved in most major infrastructure projects throughout the region tracing back generations. The breadth of our current experience includes both public infrastructure projects (roads, bridges, hospitals, courthouses, ferries, waste water systems, and long term care facilities) and private projects (wind farms, dams and hydro electric, mines, pipelines and power lines).

The depth of our experience comes from representing sponsors, owners, bidders (developer/equity and contractor/service providers), and lenders. We understand the perspectives of each and what’s important to them in undertaking major projects. Clients rely on our experience and advice to help navigate the RFQ/RFP process through to completion of the project.
