Orrick Strengthens Energy Platform with Strategic Partner Trio

Orrick, a leader in the energy legal advisory field, has bolstered its ranks by bringing on three new partners—Matthew 'Matt' Nesburn, Jeff Quinn-Cane, and Charles 'Chase' Armbrust. The trio, formerly of A&O Shearman, enhances Orrick's Chambers Band 1 Energy platform with expertise in tax equity, debt financing, and energy M&A transactions. Situated in key locations—Santa Monica, Seattle, and Houston—they are expected to support the firm's growing portfolio of global energy companies, sponsors, and independent power producers. This strategic move aligns with Orrick's focus on expanding its capabilities in structured financings within the energy sector. Orrick has shown significant growth, having added 26 partners across 14 markets to its Energy & Infrastructure platform in the past three years and is involved in significant financial transactions, closing $14.5 billion in debt and tax equity financings since 2023 globally. With a resurgence in the U.S. energy domain, this addition positions Orrick to effectively meet increased demand for expert legal services and remain competitive in the top tiers of tax equity and credit transactions.
