Timothy Hester and Graham Vinter are quoted in a Legal Business article regarding Vinter’s arrival as chair of Covington’s Project Finance practice. Hester describes Vinter as a “veteran of the project finance industry [who] is highly respected worldwide for his unparalleled knowledge of the sector.” He adds, “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.”

According to Vinter, “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.”
