Each of these resources addresses issues which may be arising as PPP contracts come under stress due to the impact of Covid-19. We hope you find them useful, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any feedback or questions.

PPP contracts are uniquely long-term arrangements between the public and private sectors which inevitably get tested when faced with unforeseen crises such as the one we are facing today.

How a PPP may weather this current Covid-19 storm depends on many things, including the stage of the PPP, the location, the sponsors and the government or contracting authority. However, it also depends on the letter of the contract, and how it was designed to withstand such shocks.
