Timothy Hester and Graham Vinter are quoted in a Law360 article regarding Vinter’s recent arrival as chair of the firm’s Project Finance practice. According to Hester, “Graham is a veteran of the project finance industry and is highly respected worldwide for his unparalleled knowledge of the sector.” He continues, “We see an opportunity at Covington to build a leading projects practice that also provides synergies with other parts of the firm — in particular, arbitration, government affairs, tax, corporate, IP and energy regulation.”

Vinter says, “Project finance is all about navigating complex projects involving multiple sets of interests from around the world, and Covington’s strength in policy-facing matters and diplomacy is a huge asset in this context. He adds, “It is a great platform on which to build a leading project finance practice, and I look forward to the challenge.”
