About Rob Pattison

I negotiate deals, mend fences, and fix broken contracts. I have played a key role in several of Canada’s largest and most complex P3 projects, including many of Infrastructure Ontario's "first of kind" projects. I have negotiated agreements for major mining, power, and industrial projects around the world. I led the Eglinton Crosstown LRT public-private partnership (P3) transaction. The deal closed two billion dollars under budget (http://bit.ly/1PlJeW8). I have settled over two billion dollars worth of construction claims, surety and lien disputes, and professional negligence claims.My 2004 article "Overview of the Law of Bidding and Tendering" (https://lnkd.in/ggdiAgB7) is the most downloaded article in the history of the Canadian Bar Review, with more than 36,000 downloads as of November 2024. I'm wrong 55 to 60 percent of the time."It's the best possible time to be alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong." - Tom Stoppard, Arcadia
