Bowmans sets the pace in novel infrastructure and project development particularly in the energy sector, assisting a range of domestic and foreign investors and developers. Portfolio acquisition, PPPs, investment proposals, infrastructure development, and energy transitions count among the practice’s key strengths. Highly regarded for his work on renewable energy deals and project financing, Aleem Tharani leads the practice, with support from Edwin Baru, whose work in C&I power projects, PPPs, energy transition, and procurement matters earned him a partner promotion in March 2023, and Matthew Arrumm, who has strong project finance credentials.
