Global law firm Ashurst announces the appointment of Heidi Blomqvist as partner in the corporate team, based in London, as the firm accelerates the growth of its private capital and energy and infrastructure focused capabilities.
Heidi has built a practice advising both corporate and private equity clients in the energy and infrastructure space. Her experience spans a broad range of transactions including acquisitions and disposals, joint ventures and general corporate advisory, especially on complex cross border investments and private equity backed transactions.
Commenting, Nick Williamson, Head of Corporate, UK at Ashurst, said: "Energy and infrastructure are core strategic strengths and priorities for Ashurst. Heidi's industry focus further enhances our already deep bench to make six M&A partners solely focussed on energy and infrastructure M&A in London alone, combined with genuine depth across all of our EMEA offices, at a time of sustained capital deployment across these sectors. We anticipate another busy year of energy and infrastructure deal-making ahead, and Heidi, who brings a wealth of expertise, particularly in the Nordics, will be a valuable addition to our team."
"We are very pleased to welcome a rising star like Heidi to Ashurst," added Jason Radford, Global Head of Corporate. "Her client relationships and sector experience create strong synergies with our existing strengths and align closely with our strategic focus on energy and infrastructure. Her arrival marks a clear signal of our ambition as we continue to expand our global private capital capability to meet client demand."
Heidi said: "Ashurst is a leader in the infrastructure and energy space, and joining the firm is an exciting prospect. The strength of its corporate, projects and finance offering, its truly global outlook and clear commitment to growth in the energy and infra M&A and private capital space, creates the ideal platform for me to be part of. I look forward to working with my new colleagues and helping clients take advantage of the opportunities in the market."
