Frank Rapoport to Provide U.S. Perspective During Next Generation PPPs Conference

McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP (MLA) partner Frank Rapoport has been chosen to provide the United States' perspective on Public-Private Partnerships at the Next Generation PPPs conference hosted by the PPP Bulletin in London on June 2-3, 2008.

MLA's Public-Private Partnerships and Critical Infrastructure Team consists of procurement authorities, attorneys and government affairs/policy managing directors who utilize a wide range of legal, political, government, finance and business planning capabilities. The team offers their clients the benefits of the firm's daily contact with U.S. political leaders, agency managers, financial institutions and corporate leaders who are spearheading State and Federal efforts to implement public-private partnerships, enhanced use leasing and protection of critical infrastructure.

The Next Generation PPPs conference will bring together the public and private sectors to discuss how public-private partnerships are changing as the scheme matures. Rapoport will address:

• How U.S. governors pursue Public-Private Partnerships (P3)
• Implementation of P3 in the U.S. - passing public scrutiny
• P3 success stories in the U.S.
• American elections this November - how they may effect P3 on the state and national level
• Private sector view in the U.S. of P3 Opportunities
