Latham & Watkins announced recently it added Houston transactional partner Jonathan Katz to its Project Development & Finance practice.
Katz represents owners and developers in the oil and gas, LNG, power, petrochemical, and energy transition sectors. He practiced for nearly a dozen years at King & Spalding, which has one of the largest construction transactional teams in the country.
“[Jonathan] is highly regarded in the industry, particularly for his experience in crafting EPC contracts for energy and infrastructure projects, many of which are high-profile, complex, and first-of-their-kind,” Nick Dhesi, Latham’s Houston office managing partner said in a firm statement. “His addition enables us to bolster our services to clients in Houston and beyond, further solidifying Latham’s position as the go-to firm for important project development and finance matters and reinforcing our commitment to provide comprehensive, strategic solutions to our clients.”
Katz, a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law, has “long collaborated” with his new colleagues at Latham.
“My practice is highly synergistic with Latham’s top-ranked energy and infrastructure practice, and I look forward to adding to the uniform excellence Latham provides clients on every aspect of project development and project financing,” he added.
