Sean Conaty Joins Nishimura & Asahi
We are delighted to announce that on May 13, Sean Conaty joined Nishimura & Asahi as partner.
Sean is a project finance and M&A lawyer. He advises clients (including sponsors, borrowers, lenders and governments) on the development, financing, acquisition, and divestiture of greenfield and brownfield energy and infrastructure projects. His practice has a particular focus on cross-border investments into Southeast Asia.
Sean has over two decades of experience and an extensive track record of leading teams on some of the region's largest and most complex "first-of-a-kind" landmark projects. This includes projects in renewable energy (solar, onshore and offshore wind, geothermal, hydro), thermal power (including gas-to-power and LNG-to-power), waste-to-energy, LNG, airports, seaports, and water treatment facilities. His experience spans project development work (including structuring and negotiating concession, offtake, and other project agreements) through to project financing (including structuring and negotiating multi-source financings involving MLAs, ECAs, and other financial institutions).
He is ranked by leading directories including Chambers and IFLR 1000.
Following a brief initial period in Tokyo, Sean will relocate to the firm’s offices in Vietnam from where he will cover Southeast Asian regional work.
We are thrilled that Sean will extend our capabilities by supporting clients in the energy and infrastructure sector across the Asia-Pacific region.
