“Doing Business in the U.S.” is a practical, introductory guide for non-U.S. businesses interested in doing business in the United States. The guide, authored by numerous Pillsbury attorneys, is an initiative of the firm’s China Practice Group, and the authors frequently use Chinese business or Chinese regulations as examples. However, the book may also be useful for other non-U.S. businesses.

Perspectives on Real Estate
Authors: Glenn Q. Snyder, Kimberly C. Moore, Jeffrey A. Knight, Daniel S. Herzfeld, Josephine S. Lo, Ignacio Barandiaran, H. Carl Moultrie III, William A. Wilcox Jr.
Welcome to the Summer 2011 edition of Pillsbury’s Perspectives on Real Estate. We decided to focus this edition on public-private partnerships (PPPs) because so many of our clients are involved in these ventures. Typically, PPPs are partnerships between a governmental entity and one or more private parties, specially created to design, build, operate and maintain public projects—such as roads, power plants, hospitals or schools—or some combination of these activities. PPPs also may be viewed in a broader context, to include such things as affordable housing projects (where tax credits make the projects economically feasible) or urban infill projects made possible because of tax increment financing and other financial support from local redevelopment agencies.

Bringing Entrepreneurship to Public Projects: An Interview with Edgemoor Real Estate Services
Perspectives on Real Estate Newsletter - Summer 2011
Author: Glenn Q. Snyder
I recently had a conversation with Edgemoor’s Neal Fleming to get his views on the state of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the U.S. and the lessons Edgemoor has learned in its own PPP projects. Mr. Fleming is a Principal of Edgemoor and provides executive leadership for all of Edgemoor’s pursuits. With more than 35 years of experience in construction and real estate development, he began his career at The George Hyman Construction Company and was a founding member of OMNI Construction, which later merged to form The Clark Construction Group, Inc.
