Leading international law firm Clifford Chance today announced that Thomas Fisher is rejoining the firm in London as a partner. Thomas has extensive infrastructure experience advising on acquisitions, divestments and reorganisations for financial investor clients. This includes a strong track record acting for top tier sponsors and infrastructure funds on both domestic and cross-border European transactions. Thomas joins from Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP where he is currently counsel, and prior to that he was with Clifford Chance for three years from 2015 to 2018.
Michael Bates, UK Regional Managing Partner said, “We are delighted to welcome Thomas back to the team. His appointment as a partner in our market leading infrastructure and private equity team reflects our continued investment in our infrastructure M&A capabilities and further deepens the team focused on top tier financial investor clients active in this sector. Thomas will work with the existing team to partner with our financial investor clients to support their activities in 2023 and beyond.”
Charlotte Madden, Co-Head of Infrastructure added, “Thomas brings a strong background in infrastructure transactions in the UK and Europe which will help support our market leading infrastructure team, further enhancing our capabilities. We’re thrilled to have him back and he will be able to hit the ground running.”
While at Weil, Thomas has worked for clients including Antin, Macquarie and Wren House.
In 2022, the London team also welcomed back private equity partner Neil Evans, and promoted Oliver Marcuse and Jonathan Dillon, further bolstering its overall Financial Investor offering. The firm’s Financial Investor client base is diverse and includes private equity houses, multi strategy asset managers, infrastructure funds, real estate funds, sovereign wealth investors and pension funds.
