Ashurst Perkins Coie adds London energy-transition finance partner
Inside Practice · OCTOBER 9, 2026 · 1 MIN READ
On October 2, 2026, Ashurst Perkins Coie announced that Henry Stewart joined its London Projects, Energy, Environment and Resources practice as a partner focused on project finance, restructuring and energy-transition transactions. The firm described European project-finance activity of more than $337 billion in 2025, a firm-supplied market figure used to explain the strategic investment. For law-firm leaders, the hire reflects ESG capability moving toward finance execution—renewables, gas, storage and infrastructure—rather than remaining a standalone advisory label. Practices should measure whether regulatory and sustainability expertise is connected to capital deployment, diligence and financing documentation where clients generate recurring mandates.
