Project development and finance lawyer Myles Mantle has joined Haynes and Boone’s London office as a partner in the energy group.
Myles joins the firm after almost four years with Jones Day, where he served as partner in the projects and infrastructure team. He also previously spent more than a decade with Ashurst LLP, and has ample international experience, having worked in Tokyo for 12 years, as well as in Russia and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. He offers a high degree of expertise in advising on the development, financing and acquisition of major projects in the energy, offshore, petrochemical, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors. In addition, he provides advice in the fields of trade finance transactions, ship and offshore vessel finance, export finance, and real estate finance.
Co-chair of the firm’s energy practice group Buddy Clark said: ‘Myles has worked on high-profile project development and finance projects in Europe, Africa, Asia and many other markets. He brings a wealth of experience to our international energy practice and greatly enhances the services we can offer to clients worldwide.’
Myles added: ‘I am very excited to join Haynes and Boone, which has such a well-deserved reputation in energy, particularly offshore energy, and project finance and perfectly complements my experience and practice. I am also drawn to the firm’s collaborative culture and look forward to teaming with my colleagues across the firm to help build our practice in the UK, the US, Japan and other locations.’
