James Davidson –Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP‘s capital markets-focused group is highly active across both the equity and mortgage sectors. IPOs, rule 144A equity offerings and M&A on behalf of both public and private REITs are key focuses for the team, which is praised for its ‘deep and broad knowledge of REIT structures‘. George Howell and David Wright  co-lead the department, whilst Houston’s James Davidson is an expert on IPOs and SEC compliance. Completing the leadership team, Washington DC’s Robert K. Smith  is an important port of call on the capital markets side, whilst Kendal Sibley focuses on tax issues arising out of equity and mortgage REITs. Lawyers are in Richmond unless otherwise stated.

United States > Finance > Capital markets: equity offerings

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is highly specialised with its focus on REITs, power, energy, utilities, and consumer products and retail. It has a fine record in representing issuers and underwriters. With the slow IPO markets in 2022, the firm secured a number of at-the-market offering engagements. New York partners Peter O’Brien and Michael Fitzpatrick are noted for power and utilities offerings, and Richmond’s David Wright, Washington DC partner Robert Smith and Houston’s James Davidson are rated for REIT transactions.
