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.
