LONDON, November 3, 2025 – Proskauer has added Sean Darling as a partner in its Global Finance practice in London, focusing on Industrials, Real Assets, and related sectors. Sean advises lenders, sponsors, borrowers, and portfolio companies on complex financing transactions. His arrival strengthens the firm’s capabilities at the intersection of leveraged and infrastructure finance.
“Many asset managers now run both PE and infrastructure or real asset strategies, and they increasingly expect their legal advisors to bring deep infrastructure finance expertise to acquisition financings. Sean’s background makes him an ideal fit to meet this demand,” said Philip Bowden, co-head of the Global Finance practice.
Firm Chairman, Tim Mungovan, added “Sean is an exciting hire. His experience, trusted relationships and market knowledge make him uniquely positioned to support clients operating across both private equity and infrastructure strategies. This will be invaluable as we continue to expand our platform.”
Sean said, “I’m thrilled to join Proskauer’s market-leading finance team during a period of exceptional momentum and growth, making it one of the fastest-growing firms in the finance space. I look forward to delivering innovative solutions for the Firm’s clients.”
