Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP‘s ’consistently efficient, commercial and thorough’ offering in energy and power project financing spans the firm’s New York, Houston and Washington DC offices, as well as coordinating closely with its London-based lawyers. From traditional power generation, and electricity transmission and utilities, to energy storage, and renewable energy and alternative energy, the practice covers the gamut of project types in the US, and its client base includes major names on both sponsor and lender sides. New York-based Eli Hunt co-leads with Breen Haire in Houston, who excels in advice to private equity investors and public and privately-held parties on negotiated acquisitions and dispositions, controlled auctions, and investments. Further key contacts in Houston are the ‘consistently excellent’ Matthew Einbinder; energy transition expert Erland Modesto; and Amy Beller, whose broad slate includes several renewable energy projects. Javad Asghari joined the firm from Milbank in April 2024 and divides his time between New York and Los Angeles. He is active in matters with cross border elements, particularly the Americas and Australia.
