Two teams of Norton Rose projects lawyers have closed a £315m transaction to build and run six new schools in Devon – one of the largest education projects to reach financial closure.

Projects partner Martin McCann led the team to advise Mowlem and Innisfree on the construction programme and provision of services over the course of the contract. Norton Rose is instructed on a rolling mandate to advise the Mowlem/ Innisfree consortium on at least three education projects each year.
