Project finance attorney and noted industry talking head Joel Moser has left Bingham McCutchen for Kaye Scholer, which is determined to “develop a comprehensive, multidisciplinary energy and infrastructure” business.

The law firm named Moser partner in its 30-lawyer energy and infrastructure practice. Kaye Scholer is anticipating energy and infrastructure will experience “significant growth over the next decade,” according to managing partner Mike Solow.

“Bringing on Joel is a key first step in enhancing our current offering,” said Solow in a press statement. Moser, who joined Scholer Tuesday, was not available for comment.

Moser joined New York-headquartered Bingham in 2010 as a partner, focusing on the planning, development, acquisition, financing, operation and the sale of energy infrastructure. Prior to signing on with Bingham, he co-chaired global infrastructure for Fulbright & Jaworski.

Oft-quoted as an authority on infrastructure, Moser, a longtime adjunct professor with Columbia University, is founding editor of Global Infrastructure.  He was also lead counsel for the New York Mets when the Major League Baseball franchise financed its $1 billion Citi Field stadium.
