Global law firm Clifford Chance has hired Om Pandya as a Capital Markets partner in Houston. Pandya, who joins from Latham & Watkins, has extensive experience advising issuers, private equity sponsors and financial institutions in registered and unregistered securities offerings including IPOs, SPAC transactions, high yield debt, sustainability-linked debt, equity-linked products, acquisition finance, complex liability management and both in-court and out-of-court restructurings.
Pandya has deep knowledge of the energy and infrastructure sector and has also been involved in many significant M&A transactions. His appointment further strengthens the firm's global Capital Markets offering in the US and builds on breadth and depth of the team in Houston.
Co-Chair of Americas Global Financial Markets Lee Askenazi said, "We're delighted to welcome Om to the team. He brings valuable experience across the range of capital markets work for issuers and financial institutions, and for public and private companies on SEC rules and governance issues. He also adds capability in the active US market, and his deep understanding of IPOs and other registered offerings is a great addition to our global capital markets platform."
Regional Managing Partner for the Americas Sharis Pozen said, "Om's comprehensive experience covering a range of capital markets transactions builds on our high-quality team in Houston. We are excited to continue growing the best practice for our clients."
Pandya said, "I'm thrilled to be part of the firm's growth story in the US and to be joining such an energetic team. I also look forward to integrating with the firm's well established global capital markets practice on both US and multinational matters."
The appointment of Pandya takes the total number of partners in Clifford Chance's Houston office to 15 and he is the 12th senior hire in the US in 2024. This year's senior hires are Fund Finance counsel Steven Starr, Tax partner Todd Lowther, Energy M&A counsel Joclynn Marsh, Corporate M&A partner Chang-Do Gong, Insurance M&A counsel Dave Marley, Antitrust counsel Lauren Rackow, Corporate M&A counsel Joshua Bernard, Restructuring & Insolvency partners Brian Lohan and Maja Zerjal Fink, and Energy & Infrastructure partners Ty'Meka M.
