Baker Donelson has once again demonstrated its commitment to expanding its professional ranks with the recent addition of Daniel Rodgers as a shareholder in its financial services transactions group. This high-profile capture not only secures an experienced professional but also reinforces Baker Donelson’s commitment to expanding its client services.
Rodgers, whose office will be located in New Orleans, LA, focuses his practice primarily on transactions in the shipping and offshore industries. He brings to the firm a wealth of experience, particularly in advising financial institutions and corporate borrowers on both domestic and international commercial transactions. His expertise in asset-based lending matters is a valuable asset that will benefit clients requiring advice on structured financings, lease financings and US capital markets transactions.
The engagements that Rodgers has previously undertaken will undoubtedly enhance the capabilities of Baker Donelson’s financial services transactions group. Prior to his new role, Rodgers served as a partner at Watson Farley & Williams in New York. The opportunities and challenges within the finance transactions field presented at his previous firm will certainly inform his work at Baker Donelson.
While Baker Donelson and its clients seemingly stand to benefit significantly from Rodgers’ induction as a shareholder, it’s also likely that his deep-rooted industry knowledge and unique practice scope will make a valuable contribution to the firm’s continued growth.
