King & Spalding LLP is a key port of call for complex conventional and renewable energy project financing transactions. Along with project and acquisition financing, the team is repeatedly called upon to advise on early-stage capital financing and is also trusted with workouts and rescue financing. Operating out of New York, practice head Brandon Dalling has been praised by clients ‘as one of the best lawyers in the industry’. Dalling’s practice centers around high-value acquisition financings, critical credits and term loan facilities, and debt and tax equity financings. Tristan Pelham Webb, who divides his time between Denver and New York, is active in greenfield and brownfield permanent project financings. Fradyn Suárez in Miami is another key advisor and represents a broad array of stakeholders in connection to transportation, infrastructure and renewable energy projects. Craig Phillips also comes recommended for his ’mastery of tax matters on renewable projects’.

‘The K&S team is quickly becoming my go-to firm. Their work on a recent global transaction received much deserved attention. They are reliable and take ownership of transactions. They don't simply wait for tasks or instructions, they think about solutions, draft, and advise. Although their turnaround time is remarkable, they never compromise on quality. Not only do they think of solutions, they think about how the solutions will affect other structures or transactions, such as financings. ’
