Quelch advises on infrastructure and project financings, including prepayments, sponsor-covered loans, corporate financings and structured debt financings.

Tobias Faber, global practice lead for the infrastructure, energy, resources, and projects practice, said her experience will be ‘enormously valuable’ in expanding the firm’s financing offering.

Quelch said she is ‘hugely excited to be joining Hogan Lovells’, adding that the firm’s ‘global platform and brand is incredibly strong’. She said she is looking forward to working with clients and colleagues to ‘build together a market leading global infrastructure and energy practice’.
