Foster Pepper’s experience with complex infrastructure projects is unmatched in the region. Attorneys have sited, permitted, and defended major infrastructure projects throughout the Pacific Northwest, including stadiums and sports arenas, convention centers, transportation corridors, bridges, roads, light rail, intermodal facilities, airports and runways, sewage and water treatment plants, universities, and hospitals. Our experience extends to public, private, and public/private projects.

Foster Pepper’s Infrastructure Group combines the talents of lawyers across multiple disciplines to provide clients with strategic, cost-effective, and creative solutions to the many complex issues that are typically associated with these types of projects. Our attorneys have vast project experience, which often begins at the earliest stages of the project with strategic legal advice on issues such as legislation and financing and continues through construction and operation of the project. The depth and breadth of the firm’s legal team allows attorneys to provide assistance on virtually every aspect of the project.

While each project has its own unique needs and challenges, we have broad experience with every type of project, allowing us to provide legal advice that minimizes risks and delays and delivers projects on time and within budget. Some of our representative projects include:
