With the Americas infrastructure market set to become the largest in the world, international law firm Ashurst today announces the appointment of Vincent Casey as a partner in its New York infrastructure team.
Vincent is the second new partner to join the New York team, following the appointment of Andy Fraiser from Allen & Overy earlier this month to lead the team. These appointments further demonstrate Ashurst’s ambition to become the leading firm in the Americas infrastructure market.
Vincent joins from Nixon Peabody where he is currently a partner in its infrastructure group. He has extensive experience acting for a broad base of clients across the infrastructure market, including in the transportation, water, social infrastructure, airport and renewable energy sectors.
Over the last 20 years, Vincent has played a lead role in energy and infrastructure project financings across the U.S. and Latin America. Most recently, he advised Allianz and SMBC in the Long Beach Civic Center financing, a complex private placement and bank hybrid financing.
Commenting on the appointment, Andy Fraiser said:
“As a firm that has infrastructure as a strategic priority for its global business, I believe that there is a unique opportunity for us to become New York’s leading firm covering infrastructure across the Americas. Coming quickly after my arrival, this is a further significant step in pursuit of this opportunity. Vincent will be a great asset to our clients and a great addition to a team that now has five partners focused on the Americas infrastructure sector.”
Vincent Casey added:
“Ashurst has a market-leading reputation and an unrivalled breadth of expertise in the infrastructure sector. The firm’s prospects for its practice are incredibly exciting and I look forward to further extending Ashurst’s leading position in the market.”
