As the senior member and founder of the Firm's P3 and Infrastructure practice, John's practice focuses on public-private infrastructure development, public finance, capital finance and complex commercial lending. John is among the few lawyers nationally with substantial experience on both the project development and the public finance sides of structuring transactions for a broad range of public and private infrastructure projects, including airports, roads and highways, convention and conference centers, educational facilities, government administrative facilities and water and wastewater facilities. Clients describe John as "a very intuitive and excellent negotiator [who] is able to discuss and explain issues to non-lawyers in a very effective manner" (Chambers USA, 2020).
