A Vault Law 100 firm and one of the Best Law Firms to Work For, where associates call it "honestly the best BigLaw can get," V&E is a recognized leader in project and infrastructure finance, and its New York project finance team plays a central role in the firm's renewables, energy transition, and data center financing practices.
