Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP added a cross-practice team of four lawyers from Bingham McCutchen LLP, who will work for the firm's energy and infrastructure clients.

The group includes Mark Williams, a partner in the Energy Practice in Washington, D.C.; Daniel Nelson, a partner in the Tax Practice in Boston; Gerald Kehoe, a partner in the Business and Finance Practice's Private Investment Funds group in Boston; and Ann Chamberlain, of counsel in the Business and Finance Practice in New York.

The team has considerable experience advising clients that concentrate on energy and infrastructure on regulatory matters, fund formation, energy-sector mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, project finance investments, tax issues and an array of transactional and securities matters. Their arrival deepens Morgan Lewis's existing energy and infrastructure capabilities across practices.

Kathryn Sutton, co-leader of Morgan Lewis's Energy Industry Practice, said:

"The ability to leverage knowledge and experience across practices sets us apart and enables us to address the constantly evolving legal demands of our clients investing in energy and infrastructure. The addition of this multi-disciplined team deepens our bench in numerous areas of law related to the energy industry."

Mr. Williams has counseled clients on energy regulatory and utility holding company matters arising in complex energy project financings and corporate transactions for more than 20 years. He has advised energy project developers, banks and insurers, hedge funds, private equity funds, and investment funds in connection with energy projects, electric and gas sector acquisitions, and energy securities issuance and transactional matters. He also advises clients on secured lending and equity positions in the energy sector.

Mr. Nelson devotes a significant portion of his practice to advising global institutional investors, including investment managers for some of the world's largest pension funds, regarding investments in real estate, infrastructure projects, and other real assets. He also advises sponsors regarding fund formation transactions, co-investment arrangements, and joint ventures involving pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional investors.

Mr. Kehoe focuses his practice on private investment fund formation and related investment product structuring. In addition to his work advising fund sponsors that concentrate on energy, infrastructure, renewables, buyouts, and various other strategies, he has experience counseling a well known global financial institution on the structuring of offshore investment products.

Ms. Chamberlain has deep experience in general corporate and securities law. She advises U.S. and international clients on investment transactions, including public offerings and private placements of equity and debt.
