Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP has strategically enhanced its Energy and Infrastructure sector by bringing aboard two new partners in its London office. This move signals Orrick’s continued focus on strengthening its presence in the UK market, particularly within the domain of international energy and infrastructure projects.
The newly appointed partners, Alex Green and Kokou Fia, arrive with substantial expertise that aligns with Orrick’s objectives.

Both partners are expected to play key roles in advising clients on complex cross-border issues and driving growth within the firm’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
This expansion comes at a time when the energy sector is undergoing significant transformations, especially with the push towards renewable energy sources across Europe. Orrick’s strategic move aligns with market demands, and it signifies their commitment to meeting contemporary challenges. The addition of these partners is anticipated to boost the firm’s capabilities in managing high-stakes projects while providing tailored advice to their global clientele.
These hires emphasize Orrick’s sustained investments in high-demand areas, following recent trends in legal recruitments within the UK. More information on this development can be accessed here.
