The pending infrastructure initiative of the United States is expected to result in substantial public investment in telecommunications, energy, and transportation infrastructure.  These investments - coupled with the nation’s need for substantially more infrastructure development - will create both opportunities and challenges for infrastructure-related businesses, including energy utilities, telecommunications carriers, local governments, contractors, and developers.

To help these businesses and local governments take full advantage of these infrastructure-related opportunities and meet the resulting challenges, Moss & Barnett has created an infrastructure practice area.  This team includes some of Minnesota’s leading attorneys in areas such as wireline and wireless telecommunications, energy, environmental law, real estate intellectual property, commercial transactions, finance, and construction dispute resolution.

Whether you face the task of responding to an RFP, seek ways to better scale your business for major projects, or have problems on an existing project, you will likely need more help than a single lawyer can provide, and you deserve assistance that is practical, coordinated, and efficient.  Moss & Barnett’s new practice area brings disciplines together to create a cohesive, multi-disciplinary team that can provide businesses and local governments with state-of-the-art representation required to efficiently handle a broad spectrum of multifaceted infrastructure projects.  Working directly with our clients, as well as our clients’ outside consultant and contractors, Moss & Barnett has refined a system that uses a secure, web-based extranet to document the status of each step in a project.  In this way, our clients can receive online status reporting and have secure access to documents (including drawings and other project information), fully utilizing technology to enable completion of those projects on time and on budget.  If you are interested in learning more, please visit our website at www.moss-barnett.com or give your attorney at Moss& Barnett a call.
