Recognized in the renewables and alternative energy market for its expertise in M&A, secured lending, and project development, Latham & Watkins LLP‘s energy and infrastructure group is a popular choice for clients from the alternative power generation, energy storage, and electric power technologies sectors. The practice’s offering extends beyond transactions and development to include advice on tax matters, litigation, and environmental compliance on both a domestic and international level. With its deep industry knowledge, the department has amassed new and impressive clients to its roster, as well as new practitioners; project development expert Daniel Sinaiko joined the team from A&O Shearman in April 2024 and was followed by tax specialist Scott Cockerham in September. Co-heading the group are Houston-based Trina Chandler and Washington DC’s Ethan Schultz. Chandler stands out for her aptitude handling complex M&A and private equity transactions, while Schultz is noted for his prowess leading on acquisitions and divestitures, joint ventures, and financings. Other key practitioners in the team include Kelly Cataldo and Eli Katz, both of whom are based in New York; Cataldo concentrates on energy transition and Katz focuses on energy tax incentives. On the take-private front in New York, David Allinson is the key contact and Matthew Henegar is the go-to for intercompany asset sharing. Los Angeles’ Jeffrey Greenberg is also an asset to the team due to his experience advising on energy projects.
