Based in Houston, Lang’s focus will be on energy infrastructure development, acquisition and disposition, with a particular concentration on LNG projects, according to a Baker McKenzie statement.
In the LNG sector, he advises both domestic and international clients across the value chain on matters related to gas supply, liquefaction, marketing and shipping, regasification and gas sales for projects throughout the world.
