Infrastructure and Transportation
Not since World War II has the federal government sought to spend so much money in so little time, with such a sense of urgency. The Recovery Act presents tremendous opportunities for companies involved in transportation and infrastructure, including engineering, construction and supply contractors. At the same time, companies need to understand the many specific requirements under the Recovery Act such as the controversial Buy American provision, award preferences and environmental requirements. Recovery Act compliance issues include reporting requirements and compliance program and mandatory disclosure provisions imposed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP's infrastructure and transportation practice advises public and private sector clients in the United States and globally on the development of large infrastructure projects, including innovative strategies for financing such projects. We have brought together, in one practice, lawyers from various disciplines who can deliver to project development clients a complete and fully integrated set of services.
