Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins has a deep bench of talent that combines environmental transactional expertise with specialist knowledge in highly regulated industries, including chemicals, energy, and manufacturing. New York-based Gary Gengel and DC-based Stacey L. VanBelleghem lead the practice, which is highly regarded by its portfolio of financial institutions and private equity firms. Jean-Philippe Brisson plays a central role in environmental transactions related to carbon capture, sequestration, and carbon neutrality, while Betty Huber‘s far-reaching knowledge extends to stock, asset, and joint venture transactions. David Langer leverages his regulatory and compliance background to assist clients on complex environmental transactions. The three are active out of New York, while Joshua Marnitz splits his practice between Los Angeles and Houston, with particular ability in transactions in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Out of the Los Angeles office, air quality and climate change expert Aran Potash covers the environmental, health, and safety aspects of transactions.
