Clayton Utz

Alexander Schlosser, who is head of the firm’s banking and financial services group, leads Clayton Utz‘s project finance team and is well supported by fellow banking and finance expert Kate Casellas, who ’has an ability to understand complex issues and propose a better outcome for the client‘. The group is regularly engaged in high-value renewables transactions as well as some first-of-their kind financings. More generally, the team has a depth of knowledge of international project financing, and special counsel Tim Stanton, who joined from King & Wood Mallesons in March 2023, only adds to this.
