Greenberg Traurig Expands Middle East Team with Nicholas Kramer, Angela Croker, Anastasia Kastelskaya, and Lindsay Crawford

The Global law firm Greenberg Traurig has strengthened its Project & Infrastructure Finance Practice in the Middle East with the addition of a leading team of four lawyers from Norton Rose Fulbright’s Dubai office, including shareholders Nicholas Kramer and Angela Croker, and of counsels Anastasia Kastelskaya and Lindsay Crawford. They will work from Dubai in close collaboration with the firm’s Riyadh office. 

Richard A. Rosenbaum, Executive Chairman of Greenberg Traurig, said, “In the Middle East, Europe, America, and around the globe, further elevating our global infrastructure practice is among the most important needs for our clients and, therefore, our firm. While this is most currently critical in the areas of energy and digital infrastructure, including data centers, the need goes beyond to many kinds of projects, especially in regions experiencing significant growth, such as the Middle East. Along with the necessary corporate/funds, real estate, hospitality, finance, disputes, and other key practices which come into play, Nicholas, Angela, Anastasia, and Lindsay add major strength as longtime infrastructure experts in the region to our already solid core in the UAE, KSA, and elsewhere.”

Khalid A. Al-Thebity, Middle East Regional Chair and Managing Shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s KSA office, said, “With the addition of this exceptional team, which is well known in the Middle East for its high-level expertise in project and infrastructure finance and construction, Greenberg Traurig adds both local and international breadth and depth to the practice. This is especially important as we meet strong client demand for legal counsel addressing the often-complex issues that come with rapid growth in their business.”

The team’s expertise includes,

• Angela Croker, Head of Project Finance Practice, UAE, advises regional and international financial institutions, corporations, and governments on project financing of energy and infrastructure projects, including energy transition initiatives, PPPs, and landmark infrastructure developments.

• Nicholas Kramer, Head of Construction and Projects, Middle East, advises government entities, sponsors, lenders, developers, contractors, and consultants across sectors including conventional and renewable power; water and wastewater; transportation; digital infrastructure; industrial; health care; education; and commercial and residential developments.




• Anastasia Kastelskaya advises sponsors, developers, government-owned entities, general contractors, and bidding consortia on major projects in conventional and renewable power, nuclear energy, water, transportation, mining, industrial, health care, commercial, and residential sectors.




• Lindsay Crawford advises developers and financiers on all aspects of project development and financing across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Australia, including utility-scale renewable energy, water treatment, and social infrastructure projects.

Sarah Mahood and Steven Bainbridge, Co-Managing Shareholders of Greenberg Traurig’s UAE office, said, “Welcoming Nicholas, Angela, Anastasia, and Lindsay represents a landmark moment in our project and infrastructure finance capabilities growth story in the Middle East. As we continue to add more of the region’s most impressive lawyers to our team, we go from strength to strength.”
