Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP’s capital markets practice remains largely driven by the energy and utilities sectors, core strengths for the firm in the US. This provides it with a healthy flow of engagements from energy and utilities issuers, such as NextEra Energy Capital and Florida Power & Light, along with financial services, technology and life sciences clients, among others. The team frequently handles large-cap transactions, valued in excess of $1bn. New York-based Thomas Giblin and Kimberly Reisler are both active capital markets practitioners in the energy and utilities sectors.
