As part of Hogan Lovells’ strategy to further strengthen its global infrastructure and project finance practice in all key jurisdictions, partner Christopher Cross, currently in London, is relocating to Dubai as of June 2011.
This follows the recent addition of significant infrastructure and project finance teams in Hogan Lovells’ London and Houston offices, focusing specifically on the energy sector.
Chris has over ten years experience in infrastructure, construction and Public Private Partnership (PPP/PFI) projects, with a particular expertise in the transport and infrastructure sectors.
Working closely with partners Rahail Ali, Rustum Shah and Jay Gede, and the finance and corporate practices, Chris will look to build on the progress of the Hogan Lovells’ Middle East team in the sector across the region.
Commenting on the move, Adrian Walker, Co-Head of Hogan Lovells’ Global Infrastructure and Project Finance team said:
“The Middle East offers exciting opportunities in the infrastructure and energy sectors for our existing clients. Chris will strengthen our offering in the region and ensure we can provide a first class service to clients active in the region in a broad range of sectors. Chris will be able to draw on the strong existing regional resources Hogan Lovells currently has in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Saudi Arabia to ensure we have capacity to manage large transactions.”
Nick Parden, Hogan Lovells’ Dubai office Co-Managing Partner, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Chris. He is an experienced infrastructure and project finance lawyer and will be a great addition to our Middle East team.”
