Minter Ellison's popular report on the fundamentals of doing business in Australia.
Our major projects team draws on diverse legal specialisations to deliver successful major infrastructure for government. We operate across all sectors, including economic infrastructure (transport, communications power, water and other utilities), social infrastructure (health, education, housing and justice) and municipal facilities. Our Infrastructure Industry Group is led by the Hon. Mark Birrell, formerly a Cabinet Minister and Upper House Leader in the Victorian Government, and the current Chairman of Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, the nation's peak infrastructure organisation. Public private partnerships (PPPs) continue to be a successful method of delivering major infrastructure projects for governments. We have an exceptionally strong track record of advising on high profile, commercially complex and strategically important Australian PPP and construction projects and are respected by and engaged on a recurring basis by government clients. Our real estate team has advised on many of the most significant and complex property projects undertaken by governments across Australia in recent times, including the multi-billion dollar sale of the Port of Brisbane and Melbourne Docklands.
