Allen & Overy Snags 19-Lawyer Akin Gump Renewable Energy Team

摘要

Allen & Overy is making a major move in the renewable energy space by hiring 19 lawyers, including six partners, from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld's project finance and renewables practice, and adding a Los Angeles office."California has obvious attractions in connection with renewables, but the opportunity is far wider," said Tim House, U.S. senior partner at A&O. "It is a legal market of enormous importance and, of course, central to advancing technological change. The last year has reinforced our commitment to attracting talent in the key practices we are looking to build to serve our clients without a rigid attachment to location or physical offices."
