Daniel Leslie is a partner in the New York office of Hughes Hubbard. He is a member of the Project Finance practice group where he advises on energy and infrastructure project finance transactions and focuses on energy projects, including mining and critical minerals, renewables and other investments supporting the energy transition, particularly in the United States, Canada, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Daniel also frequently represents financial institutions, corporate clients, private equity sponsors, start-ups and technology companies in a broad range of banking and finance transactions, including secured and unsecured term loan and revolving credit facilities, letters of credit, cash-flow lending, second lien and mezzanine financings, leveraged buyouts, acquisition financing, leveraged lease transactions, debt restructuring and workouts, debtor-in-possession financings, leveraged recapitalizations, and Rule 144A senior and subordinated debt offerings.

While Daniel works across a wide array of industries, he has particularly strong experience in the mining and energy finance industries throughout the Americas and Africa. In addition, his practice includes bank regulatory and risk advisory services, with a focus on anti-money laundering compliance.

Daniel is also the author of the widely respected legal textbook Legal Principles for Combatting Cyberlaundering, which was developed following a European government-funded research initiative at the Max Planck Institute in Freiburg, Germany.
