Fulbright beefs up projects practice
Fulbright & Jaworski has taken another step in expanding and strengthening its noted global energy projects practice with the addition of Jeremy Sheldon, who is recognised for his international work in power generation, distribution, infrastructure and waste-to-energy projects.
Sheldon is joining Fulbright’s London office as a partner from Ashurst.
“For more than half a century, Fulbright’s attorneys have assisted the energy industry as it has expanded into emerging markets and as energy projects worldwide have come online,” said Steven B Pfeiffer, chair of Fulbright’s executive committee.
“Our experienced energy lawyers assist clients across the globe. Jeremy’s strong projects experience complements a strong lineup of energy practitioners at Fulbright.”
Sheldon brings experience providing legal counsel for a $100 million project to construct, finance and operate one of the largest waste-to-energy and recycling projects of its kind in the United Kingdom, the financing of a thermal independent power project in India and the formation of two joint ventures in the petrochemical sector with assets in Italy, Germany and Canada.
Sheldon has advised energy companies in regions ranging from Africa to the Middle East and countries from Canada to Kazakhstan on issues from waste projects to infrastructure development.
“Jeremy has a very diverse set of skills that span from extensive upstream to downstream experience,” said Michael Irvin, the head of Fulbright’s Energy Department.
“He is an impressive global energy projects player who will benefit our team of experienced international energy practitioners. Fulbright is a serious competitor for any energy project, anywhere in the world.”
A deep history and broad experience in the global energy market attracted Sheldon to Fulbright, a firm where more than 250 of nearly 1,000 attorneys provide legal services to the energy industry.
“Fulbright has a distinct and impressive energy practice that includes a cadre of attorneys who strive to obtain the very best results for the firm’s clients and the industry as a whole,” Sheldon said.
“The same high standards that guide me as a lawyer are evident in Fulbright’s culture and client service. Fulbright is a perfect fit for my growing energy practice.”
