Moser is a well-known figure in the US infrastructure market and has represented investment funds, banks, governments and agencies, public and private businesses and non-profit enterprises in infrastructure investments and transactions across transportation, energy, education, and water sectors. He served as lead counsel in the financing of the New York Mets baseball team’s new $1 billion, 45,000-seat Citi Field stadium.

“Joel is an authority in the infrastructure, energy and project finance fields,” said Tara Higgins, co-leader of Bingham’s energy and project finance group, with Barry Direnfeld, co-leader of Bingham’s corporate area adding: “Joel’s arrival underscores our commitment to growing one of our leading practices.”

In January, Bingham hired Jacob Worenklein, founder and ex-chief executive of US Power Generating and founder of law firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy’s project finance practice, to join its New York office.

Bingham has advised on a number of project finance transactions, with recent deals including representing Astoria Energy II in connection with a gas-fired electric generation facility in New York. The firm counts 1,100 lawyers across the US, Europe and Asia. It opened a new office in Frankfurt last month, Bingham said in a statement.
