From hospitals to airports, utilities, bridges, and roads, along with the renewal of large government projects, increasingly, clients require a team that can assist with their infrastructure projects. Howard leads a team of lawyers who provide advice and representation on many of Canada’s most significant infrastructure projects.
These public and private initiatives, including public-private partnerships (P3), often involve planning and construction spanning over many years and engage financiers as well as various levels of government. The Investing in Canada Plan, which commits $180 billion over 12 years, is expected to proceed, especially given the demand for new and replacement infrastructure at municipal, provincial, and national levels.
Working with all stakeholders on these major projects, Howard employs a focused, goal-oriented approach to address the most challenging issues with creative solutions. Howard also navigates the ever-evolving regulatory landscape to stay informed on sustainable and climate-resilient requirements. His clients depend on the team to analyze and devise a strategy that ensures a successful resolution to their infrastructure needs, particularly regarding any special requirements during a pandemic. Howard is ideally suited to lead this team.
Due to his ongoing efforts, Howard has been listed in the Lexpert Special Edition: Infrastructure 2025 and has consistently appeared in the Lexpert Directory for Construction Law.
