In the wake of an impressive run which has seen the firm bolster its ranks through the addition of Matthew Hardwick and Daniel Giemajner from Norton Rose Fulbright and Alex Harrison from Hogan Lovells International LLP, Akin is geared up to act on a wide range of financing initiatives for large scale energy and transport projects nationally and globally. The team are a good port-of-call for independent infrastructure fund managers, banks and construction companies seeking advice on capital investment, design, and construction plans, as well as counsel regarding novel funding methods such as the government’s regulated asset base model. Hardwick, who leads the team, helms the firm’s most complex cross-border mandates, while also being noted for his proficiency handling the restructuring of finances. Giemajner has expanded the team’s understanding of the renewable and alternative energy sectors, with noteworthy activity in onshore windfarm, mineral extraction, and biofuel projects, while Harrison has close connections to large regulatory and governing energy bodies.
