From hospitals to airports, utilities, bridges and roads, including the renewal of large government projects—increasingly, clients require a team that can assist with their infrastructure projects. Howard leads a team of lawyers in providing advice and representation on many of Canada’s largest infrastructure projects. These public or private projects, including public-private partnerships (P3), often involve planning and construction spanning over many years and engage financiers, as well as all levels of government entities. The Investing in Canada Plan, committing $180 billion over 12 years, is expected to continue, especially given the need for new and replacement infrastructure municipally, provincially and nationally. Working with all stakeholders on these major projects, Howard brings a focused goal-oriented approach to the most difficult problems to find creative solutions. He also traverses the ever-changing regulatory regimes to keep up-to-date on sustainable and climate-resilient requirements. Howard’s clients require the team to analyze and prepare a strategy that will result in a successful conclusion to their infrastructure needs, especially for any special requirements during a pandemic. Howard is a perfect fit as this team’s leader. mccagueborlack.com
