Troutman Pepper's John Leonti Named Among Most Influential Attorneys in Wind Industry
LOS ANGELES – John Leonti, a partner at Troutman Pepper and leader of the firm’s Capital Projects and Infrastructure Practice, has been named to A Word About Wind’s Legal Power List 2020. The UK-based, renewable-energy publication is billed as “the definitive rundown of the 100 most influential lawyers working on the financial side of wind energy.” Honorees were selected based on nominations and independent research, including client successes from the last two years.
"Companies and those who advise them will need to adapt fast for a world that is set to look very different in 18 months,” said Richard Heap, A Word About Wind’s editor-in-chief. “That's why we think this is a good time to look again at the top lawyers in wind and celebrate the very best in the Legal Power List 2020. These are the people who have helped companies to negotiate the challenges they have faced in recent years."
For the past two decades, Leonti has helped clients structure, negotiate, document and execute complex financial transactions in the energy sector and is often retained by clients to advise them on their “first” transactions.
From high-stakes, transformative deals to smaller investments, Troutman Pepper’s nationally recognized Capital Projects and Infrastructure Practice Group facilitates projects for investors, utilities, sponsors, private investment funds, lenders, developers and other stakeholders. The team’s pragmatic approach combined with its extensive experience helps adeptly execute transactions.
A Word About Wind is an international membership network for renewable energy financiers and investors. The organization comprises financiers, investors, developers and owner/operator companies working throughout the global wind power supply chain and delivers market insight and analysis and a roster of international events.
