Global law firm White & Case LLP has expanded its Global Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Practice and Global Energy Industry Group with the addition of Gabriel Salinas as a partner in Houston.
"Investing in our leading energy and infrastructure capabilities is a strategic priority for White & Case. Moreover, our Houston office is a critical gateway for investment between Latin America and the US," said the Firm's Chair Heather McDevitt. "Gabriel's deep sector experience and strong cross-border M&A practice make him a vital asset in these key areas."
Salinas advises private equity sponsors, funds, sovereigns, multinational corporations and financial institutions on international and domestic mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures. He has extensive energy and infrastructure investment experience spanning low-carbon, CCS, clean hydrogen, clean ammonia and LNG projects.
"M&A investment in energy and infrastructure is a key priority for Latin American investors," said White & Case Co-Head of Latin America Rodrigo Dominguez. "Gabriel's track record on high-profile deals across the region adds strength on strength to our team, and further enhances our ability to support clients deploying capital in complex, high-value transactions."
Salinas joins White & Case from another international law firm, where he led its Mexico Practice, its New Energies Task Force and its Data Center Initiative.
