The new law on public-private partnerships (PPPs) entered into force on 16 January. As a result, all public works, acquisitions and PPP contracts in Mexico may be subject to arbitration a nd alternative dispute resolution – marking the summit of a development that began in 1993. Mexico has successfully performed a number of PPPs in the past and the new law adds a modern framework for PPPs.
