Timothy Hester is quoted in a Legal Week article regarding the expansion of Covington's Project Finance practice with the arrival of four new partners and the opening of offices in Dubai and Johannesburg. According to Hester, “We have been focused on building our project finance capabilities for many years, and these opportunities fit very well with that strategy. We have been active in the Middle East and Africa, so having offices in both regions will help amplify and support the activities the firm already has underway." He adds, “We view this as an important step in terms of our Korean client base for significant work and are very focused on linking our Seoul office with our Middle East and African practice.”
