United States > M&A/corporate and commercial > M&A: middle-market ($500m-999m)
(Next Generation Partners)With a client base encompassing major financial institutions, healthcare conglomerates, and tech corporations, the Norton Rose Fulbright team is well-equipped to advise on domestic and cross-border M&A in the public and private spheres. The practice’s offering covers a wide array of transactions, ranging from multibillion dollar cross-border deals to mid-market M&A within the US. Dallas-based team co-lead Scarlet McNellie heads up the firm’s corporate and M&A practice, and is an expert in leading on divestitures and spin-off transactions, while co-head Sheldon Nussbaum, who is based in New York, chiefly handles corporate governance matters, leading the firm’s business practice. Houston lawyer Brian P Fenske covers IPOs and venture capital financings, and St. Louis-based Kevin Fischer assists private equity funds with corporate transactional issues. Kevin Friedmann acts on behalf of start-up companies in seed stage and angel financings from Chicago, and both Kessar Nashat and Steve Suzzan focus on joint ventures and corporate governance matters in New York.
United States > Energy > Energy transactions: electric power
Demonstrating the ability to advise across a wide array of energy assets, Norton Rose Fulbright‘s client roster comprises a host of investment partnerships, global asset managers, infrastructure funds and major industry developers. The practice, which has an impressive record on renewable energy projects, is under the joint leadership of Austin’s Becky Diffen and New York’s Kessar Nashat. Diffen handles M&A, joint venture and project development mandates, particularly with regard to developers navigating sell-side M&A, while Nashat has notable strength working alongside investors and financial sponsors. The Los Angeles-based Elizabeth Sluder brings wider expertise to the fore through her tax equity financing acumen and ability to consider the environmental and regulatory issues that underpin the firm’s diverse portfolio of transactions. Chicago-based Sameer A. Ghaznavi has been the leading figure on major renewable portfolio deals, advising both domestic and international clients, whereas Anastasia Slivker has overseen investments in both projects and companies from the New York office.
