Lawyer Rankings
United States > Finance > Project finance
(Next Generation Partners)Led by experienced transactional partners Rohit Chaudhry and Roald Nashi from the firm’s Washington DC office, Kirkland & Ellis LLP‘s energy and infrastructure practice has experience advising leading lenders and sponsors, in particular in the private equity space, on the financing of major projects in areas from oil and gas to wind and solar, LNG, and infrastructure including semiconductor facilities and data centers. In the New York office, Robert Eberhardt has broad experience covering wind and solar power and storage projects, while Michael Masri is particularly knowledgeable about energy tax credits and government incentive programs, and Tatiana Monastyrskaya advises PE firms and investment and commercial banks. In Washington DC, Brian Greene stands out for his work with lending agencies and investors.
United States > Energy > Renewable/alternative power
Complex and high-value transactional work lies at the heart of Kirkland & Ellis LLP ‘s renewable energy sector offering, which sees lawyers with significant experience in M&A and project finance advise clients, including major private equity and infrastructure funds, on a broad range of portfolio acquisitions and project transactions. Taking in account the growing importance of ESG related issues in the renewable energy sector, the firm’s offering of a separate ESG & Impact Practice Group is also noted. The practice is jointly led by Andrew Calder in Houston and notable private equity, project finance, and project restructuring partner Rohit Chaudhry in Washington DC. The firm also has a strong offering in Texas, where Houston’s Cyril Jones and John Pitts – who are currently working on advising Archaea Energy Inc on its sale to BP p.l.c. for approximately $4.1bn – are both noted, as is Kevin Crews in Dallas, whose experience extends to investments in the biofuels sector. Kristin Mendoza in New York and Roald Nashi in Washington DC are also recommended for their M&A and financing expertise. The team was further strengthened with the arrival of New York’s Robert Eberhardt and William Nicholson from Norton Rose Fulbright in February 2022.
