 Global Infrastructure Partners, a private equity fund dedicated to investing in infrastructure assets, has appointed Joseph Blum as a partner and general counsel, based in London.
Blum joins the firm from Latham & Watkins, where he was a partner and head of the London office's Project Development and Finance Group.
'GIP is facing a wealth of opportunities in the infrastructure investment sector, across a range of asset classes including energy, transport and water, both in the OECD and in select developing countries,' said Adebayo Ogunlesi, chairman and managing partner of Global Infrastructure Partners. 'We are delighted that Joe will be joining us as a partner and spearheading our Legal Counsel division. His vast experience in both developed and developing markets and the recognition he has gained across various infrastructure sectors distinguish him as a legal expert and we believe that his significant experience will be an asset for GIP and its limited partners.'
GIP targets investments in single assets, and portfolios of assets and companies in the energy, transport and water sectors - including power generation and transmission, gas storage and pipelines, water assets, airports, air traffic control, ports and railroads. The firm has offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.
