Latham & Watkins LLP is well-positioned to advise on energy transition mandates, with a particular focus on battery storage, solar and wind financings. The firm has a balanced sponsor and lenders focus, acting for both premium banks and financial services institutions and multinational energy corporations, overseeing both debt and equity financings. LNG also continues to be a large part of the firm’s workload, handling the development and financing piece of landmark facilities such as the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project. On the infrastructure front, the group stands out for its formidable engagement with digital assets, often instructed on major US fiber rollouts, microgrids, and battery energy storage facilities. Project development and financing specialist Jeff Greenberg helms the group on both sides of the energy and infrastructure space and is a key adviser to some of the world’s largest financial institutions such as Credit Agricole and MUFG. Jonathan Rod and Jason Webber offer particular experience relating to LNG projects, while Matthew Henegar‘s practice spans renewables, conventional energy, and infrastructure assets. Gianluca Bacchiocchi and Guido Liniado have an extensive international footprint that is predominantly centered on Central and South America where they work with a range of sponsors, underwriters and developers on project financing and capital raises. Chirag Dedania‘s data center expertise ensures that he is sought out by numerous established corporates and deal sponsors, whereas Kelly Cataldo and Omar Nazif are particularly well-regarded for their adeptness in renewables and battery storage mandates. A popular choice for private equity sponsors, Warren Lilien is equally proficient across energy and infrastructure matters and has a strong record on gas pipeline instructions. Annelise Karreman has a growing practice in the renewables sector, working on both project financings and tax equity financings, whereas Cameron Lyons has minerals, metals and chemicals work as part of a broad portfolio of work. Renewables expert Daniel Sinaiko joined the team from A&O Shearman in April 2024. The team operates out of New York.
