“I have long admired Milbank’s platform and its lawyers, with whom I already have an excellent professional relationship. It is very exciting to join the firm at a time when demand for energy and infrastructure projects is growing steadily around the world, especially in the area of digital infrastructure,“ said Sines. ”I look forward to working closely with the team to continue advising our clients on the most important transactions in the market.”
