Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Advising some of the market’s largest asset managers, financial sponsors and pension funds, Kirkland & Ellis LLP covers a variety of transaction types and assets. Infrastructure engagement focuses heavily on the digital space, with the team advising on the debt and equity financings for data center and fiber ventures, whereas on the energy front the firm has a broader ambit that includes, but is not limited to, wind, solar, hydropower, gas, hydrogen and battery storage. Rohit Chaudhry leads both sides of the firm’s project finance offering and has a proven track record on solar, LNG and fiber mandates, whereas Roald Nashi, who is also equally competent across both sector strands, has predominantly focused on energy transition work such as renewables, anaerobic digestion plants and carbon capture facilities, as well as data centers. Another key individual who has a practice concentrated on energy transition work, Robert Eberhardt is especially well-regarded for his onshore and offshore wind capabilities, while Tatiana Monastyrskaya is a key contact to Blackstone, handling their development and financing instructions. Michael Masri brings a wealth of tax equity financing and tax credit transactions expertise to bear on a number of mandates, and Tatiana Monastyrskaya continues to be a critical advisor to LNG and data center projects. Olivia George is well-versed on a wide array of project finance transaction structures. Tax specialist Sam Kamyans joined the team from Allen & Overy LLP in November 2023. Chaudhry, Nashi and Kamyans operate out of Washington DC, whereas the rest of the team sit in New York.
