Number of years practice: 15 Principal practice areas: Projects Bar admissions: New York Languages spoken: English, French and Tamil

One of Linklater’s star young partners, Vijaya Palaniswamy was promoted to counsel in 2015 and made partner a year later. He has been advising project sponsors, commercial lenders, multilateral development banks and regulated entities in the acquisition, development, structuring and financing of energy and infrastructure assets in Latin America since 2004, and has particular experience advising on structuring energy projects financed on a limited recourse basis. He is currently advising a number of Chinese and Philippine clients on project matters in Mexico in sectors such as telecoms, power and logistics. Headline work includes advising KEPCO, Samsung C&T and Techint on the bidding, development and financing of the KEXIM-backed Norte II 433MW power project in the state of Chihuahua, the first such investment by Korean companies in the Mexican power sector; and consortium member GDF Suez in relation to the $743m engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract awarded to ICA Fluor for the construction of the 291km Los Ramones Sur natural gas pipeline from San Luis Potosi to Apaseo El Alto, Guanajuato. Beyond this experience advising clients in the liquefied natural gas sector, Palaniswamy has also represented a number of first-time Latin American issuers.
