Dr. John B. Miller works with the Projects, Infrastructure, and Finance group at Patton Boggs , and with the firm’s transportation, environmental, government contracts, and public policy groups. With over three decades of valuable international and domestic experience, Dr. Miller focuses on engineering procurement construction projects (EPC ), water/waste water renewal and replacement projects, and public private partnerships (PPP ) in the global infrastructure sector, including representation of clients on transactional and policy matters.
Dr. Miller helps construction industry clients – contractors, governments, public and private owners, engineers, technology suppliers, developers, and investors – more effectively perform and compete in an increasingly challenging business, regulatory, and litigation environment. Dr. Miller ’s extensive early experience with construction contract drafting, litigation, and arbitration, combined with his comprehensive work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), comparing and contrasting the world’s best practices in the delivery and finance of infrastructure projects, has been extremely valuable to clients.
The construction industry market has never been more fluid, and clients need current, strategic, and experienced advice in navigating through the different business opportunities this fluid market is creating – from design-build, to design-build-operate, to public-private partnerships. Enhanced use leasing – a specialty of Patton Boggs – provides yet another opportunity for clients to not only re-position their efforts within the construction industry, but to do so in a way that improves competitive advantage and bottom-line performance.
Typical client engagements for Dr. Miller include: creation of appropriate teaming arrangements with construction industry partners to capture infrastructure project work; assisting clients in evaluating a specific project’s economic and technical feasibility prior to the investment decision; assisting clients select an appropriate project delivery strategy, together with the creation of procurement documents and contracts; and resolving – through litigation, arbitration, or negotiation – claims or disputes arising from these commercial agreements.
Dr. Miller has taught several undergraduate and graduate level courses at MIT, including Law and the Construction Industry, Public Infrastructure Development Systems, and The History of American Infrastructure. He has also published several books on infrastructure and procurement-related subjects as well as numerous journal articles.
