Government Transactions

OVERVIEW

Transactions involving governmental entities require an understanding of both traditional commercial principles and the unique legal, procedural, and public-policy considerations that apply to the public sector. Peck Baxter represents businesses, developers, property owners, investors, and other organizations in transactions involving municipalities, counties, state agencies, special districts, and other governmental entities.

Our attorneys advise on development and infrastructure agreements, real estate acquisitions and dispositions, public-private partnerships, economic development arrangements, incentives, easements and rights-of-way, utility and infrastructure matters, interlocal and special district arrangements, procurement-related transactions, and other agreements between private parties and governmental entities. We also assist clients with the approvals, public processes, and regulatory considerations that may accompany these transactions.

Peck Baxter brings particular experience to matters where government transactions intersect with real estate development, land use, construction, financing, and business operations. We work with elected officials, municipal staff, consultants, engineers, and other stakeholders to structure agreements that clearly define responsibilities, allocate risk, and support successful implementation.

By combining transactional experience with a practical understanding of governmental processes, Peck Baxter helps clients navigate the complexities of public-sector transactions while advancing their broader business and development objectives.
