About

Daniel Chavez joined US photovoltaic manufacturer First Solar as assistant general counsel in February 2016. He was previously a partner at Texas-based law firm McDermott Will & Emery where he primarily advised investors on energy projects in Latin America. He is, in the words of one nominator, ‘a truly great lawyer whose record as an adviser in the energy sector is comparable to any other counsel I have worked with. He not only gives sound legal advice but is able to reflect on the wider economic and political risks and considerations associated with any given project. The matters he has advised on in Latin America are among the most challenging projects of recent times and he brings a truly exceptional range of skills and depth of knowledge to his role’. Before joining McDermott in 2014 he was managing director and general counsel at Houston-based emerging-market focused private equity and real estate investment firm Zaff Capital where he oversaw legal, compliance and corporate governance matters. He has also worked as senior counsel at energy development and services company AEI Services and at Mexico-based wine producer Casa Pedro Domecq, where he started his career in 2002.
