(July 12) – Neal Bakare, former senior vice president of legal risk management at Australian financial services company Macquarie Bank Limited, has returned to private practice at Foley Gardere as of counsel.
Bakare started his career at Vinson & Elkins after graduating from Tulane University Law School in 2006. He went in-house at Macquarie Group in 2011 as a senior lawyer.
“Texas continues to see heavy activity in the energy and financial services sectors, and we have a long history of successfully managing energy projects and financings,” Michael Rogers, Foley Gardere’s Houston office managing partner, said in a statement.
“Neal’s experience as an in-house attorney, paired with his knowledge of the Houston market and beyond, will provide tremendous value to our clients locally and nationally.”
Bakare will focus his practice on equity transactions, complex structured transactions, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures of assets and entities, debt financing transactions (in both borrowing and lending roles), mezzanine debt and senior secured borrowing base financing transactions, and hedging transactions.
