Yukiko Kojima

Yukiko Kojima offers clients unique experience with highly innovative alternative delivery strategies for large-scale infrastructure projects in the U.S. because of her deep knowledge of national best practices as well as Canada’s mature P3 market. She primarily advises public agencies in the use of methods such as P3 and design-build, but also represents private-sector participants on select projects.

Yukiko takes an active role in Nossaman’s P3 practice initiatives in the social infrastructure area, and co-authored the Firm's model social infrastructure P3 legislation . She is Chambers -rated nationally and globally in the field of P3s, and served on the national board of Design-Build Institute of America and chaired its P3 Committee from its inception.

Before joining Nossaman, she was a partner in the leading P3 practice of a Canadian law firm in Vancouver and Tokyo where she assisted successful and shortlisted bidders on numerous award-winning P3 projects in Canada.

City of Los Angeles – Convention Center Renovation and Expansion. A Nossaman team led by Yukiko is advising the City on the negotiation and drafting of a Project Agreement for the Los Angeles Convention Center Expansion and Modernization Project. Initially engaged by the City to help negotiate and draft an implementation agreement for a public-private partnership version of the project, for which the City had entered into an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with AEG/Plenary as developer in January 2019, those negotiations were suspended due to COVID impacts and Nossaman was subsequently re-engaged in 2024 to advise on a design-build version of the project. In April 2025, the City Council approved continued negotiations with the developer of a phased delivery of the project that would entail completion of the exterior portions of the project prior to the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and completion of the balance of the project after the Games. The resulting expansion is anticipated to add at least 190,000 square feet of additional contiguous exhibit space, 55,000 square feet of meeting room space and at least 95,000 square feet of multi-purpose space to the existing facility and includes the renovation of the Gilbert Lindsay Plaza.
