About McManimon, Scotland & Baumann, LLC

McManimon, Scotland & Baumann, LLC is a law firm focused on New Jersey – serving both government and private clients – with an extensive history in public finance law. Founded in 1971, the firm brings a unique ability to bridge the public sector with the private sector in order to realize groundbreaking projects.

Event Synopsis:

Despite its fundamental importance in economic health, infra-structure in the United States has been very inadequately maintained and poorly funded. Political dysfunction, fiscal difficulties, technological complexity and size of contracts, and other issues are forcing a re-examination of financing approaches.

Partnerships between government agencies, private firms, banks, financiers, and the public are becoming more common. Such Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are neither the ultimate solution for all projects nor an overt attempt to obtain corporate control of public funds. A PPP is a legally binding contract between a public sector entity and a private company, the concessionaire, in which the partners agree to share risks and benefits in funding and developing infrastructure projects.

Infrastructure PPPs are politically, economically, contractually, and technically challenging. However, in tax averse and politically grid-locked societies such as the United States, they can be appealing. Nevertheless, there are legitimate concerns voiced by the public and legislators including the role of private companies in managing public functions, such as prison services, traffic enforcement, and other ‘services’ that might be viewed as raising conflicts of interest.

Creating an effective, lasting, and accountable PPP requires sound legal contracts, competent public officials and skilled private expertise, the rational use of public funds, and strong cooperation among all parties in addition to the informed consent of the public.

The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide an over-view and discussion of the complex issues relating to Payments-Based Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). Panel members will offer their expertise and provide information to help design efficient PPP Contractual and Procurement Processes.
