Routinely involved in domestic and cross-border energy transactions, Herzog Fox & Neeman is arguably best known for its project finance practice, where it represents both borrowers and lenders. That being said, the group’s expertise spans all segments of the industry, with recent experience in the development of conventional and renewable power projects, oil and gas exploration and regulatory matters. The team is led jointly by Adam Eytan, who specialises in infrastructure development and project finance, and Mark Phillips, who also has an emphasis on project finance. Additionally, Ruth Dagan and Eran Wagner are recommended for regulatory and transactional energy work, respectively.
