Latham & Watkins

Latham & Watkins provides 'experience across all sub sectors, with great industry knowledge', boasting an ability to be at 'the cutting edge of financing technology'. Trusted by some of the industry's largest players, the firm has a clear command of the entire financing and development piece for major projects, including advising Saudi Aramco on its carbon capture infrastructure in the Middle East, as well as counselling international executive bodies on a variety of energy builds - such as green hydrogen and ammonia. Industry veteran Conrad Andersen heads the practice and, although his practice is largely concentrated on debt and acquisition financing, is able to lend expert counsel across the full gamut of financing issues. Tom Bartlett is a go-to for energy developments, with a strong focus on North Africa and the Middle East, while Clement N Fondufe oversees the financings of a number of large-scale projects across Africa. JP Sweny and David J. Ziyambi also come recommended for their project finance and project development proficiency.
