Praised for its ‘consistent industry knowledge and practical application’, Norton Rose Fulbright boasts a strong project finance offering spanning both energy and infrastructure. Leadership on the energy side sits with Washington DC-based Keith Martin and New York’s Ben Koenigsberg, with the former focusing on the tax dimensions of project finance, and the latter on financings, hedge transactions, and acquisitions tied to power and natural gas assets. Infrastructure work is led by Douglas Fried and Douglas B. Buchanan KC in New York, who advise on major developments, financings, PPPs and asset privatizations, with Buchanan also bringing M&A expertise across infrastructure, natural resources and power generation. New York’s Todd Alexander and Noam Ayali provide further project finance, debt finance, and M&A capabilities, while Deanne Barrow, a key partner based in Los Angeles, has recently been active on energy storage, carbon capture and clean hydrogen ventures. Patrick Harder has left the firm.
