About Mona
Mona is a partner and the co-chair of Cooley's infrastructure, energy and real estate practice. Dual-qualified as a lawyer in the US (New York and Illinois) and in England and Wales, and as a licensed professional engineer, she brings a distinctive combination of legal and technical experience to complex energy and infrastructure transactions. Over a 25-year career, she has led some of the largest and most complex energy and infrastructure transactions globally, with a focus on project finance and development, mergers and acquisitions, and tax equity and corporate finance.
I advise clients across the life cycle of infrastructure investments – combining energy, technology and capital to help execute and scale complex projects.
