Faculty

Mr. Giuliano advises clients in the development, procurement, construction, financing, and delivery of their most innovative, unconventional, and challenging infrastructure projects, including through alternative delivery approaches involving public-private partnerships (P3s), the use of pre-development agreements, and design-build and progressive design-build contracting. He is a nationally recognized infrastructure project attorney and leader in the U.S. P3 industry, having been involved in over three dozen such projects, and a two-time Law360 MVP in Project Finance.

Ms. Hirschkorn is a strong and effective advocate with extensive experience in the transportation industry. She successfully manages, drafts, and negotiates agreements for some of the nation’s largest transportation projects and advises her clients on federal and state policies, statues, and regulations in the railroad, environmental, utility and procurement industries. Ms. Hirschkorn also represents commuter rail agencies before the Surface Transportation Board, federal and state courts on a variety of issues including railbanking, abandonment of rail lines, environmental reviews, federal preemption and expansion of freight and intercity rail services. She spent a majority of her career in public service, ensuring that commuter agencies maximize their transportation services in an efficient and accessible manner.
Description
Transportation mega projects have become increasingly more common and complex, resulting in the need for public agencies—and their private contractors—to properly plan for and address unique challenges associated with such projects. This session will introduce and define the legal concepts associated with transportation mega projects, including governance, funding, and financing opportunities and requirements, and address best practices for project delivery, procurement, contracting, and implementation. In doing so, the session will draw lessons from existing projects.
