From hospitals and airports to utilities, bridges, roads, and major government renewals, clients increasingly require experienced legal teams to support complex infrastructure initiatives. Howard leads a team of lawyers advising and representing clients on many of Canada’s largest infrastructure projects. These public and private matters, including public private partnerships (P3s), often involve years of planning and construction and engage financiers alongside municipal, provincial, and federal government entities. With significant ongoing investment under the Investing in Canada Plan, which commits $180 billion over 12 years, demand for new and replacement infrastructure continues across the country. Howard brings a focused, results-oriented approach to solving the most complex project challenges, navigates evolving regulatory frameworks and stays current on sustainable and climate resilient infrastructure requirements. Clients rely on his team to analyze risks and develop practical strategies that lead to successful project delivery, including addressing unique challenges such as public private partnerships and the increase of insolvent parties on major projects. Howard’s experience, leadership, and strategic mindset make him well suited to lead this infrastructure practice.
