Strategic additions deepen the firm’s bench in energy transactions, commodities, and finance, including private credit and digital assets

�鶹ֱ�� & Lardner LLP announced today that Deanna Reitman and Glenn Reitman have joined the firm’s Houston office as partners in its Transactions and Finance Practices, respectively. Joining from Faegre Drinker, their arrival further strengthens �鶹ֱ��’s Energy & Infrastructure Sector and supports its continued investment in Houston as a core strategic market for the firm.

Collectively, Deanna and Glenn bring experience spanning energy, commodities, and digital asset transactions and related financing matters, including private credit and regulatory compliance. Their work centers on complex commercial and financing structures integral to capital‑intensive energy, commodities, and infrastructure matters in both traditional energy and energy‑transition‑related projects.

“Houston is a key market for the firm and an important part of our national Energy & Infrastructure Sector,” said Daljit Doogal, �鶹ֱ��’s chairman and CEO. “Deanna and Glenn add meaningful depth in energy‑driven transactional and finance work, particularly in areas where clients continue to seek sophisticated counsel. Their experience strengthens our integrated, firmwide platform and advances our focus on aligning capabilities with the evolving needs of our clients.”

Deanna advises energy companies, trading firms, financial institutions, and investors on the legal, regulatory, and commercial aspects of energy and commodities markets. Her practice spans the full lifecycle of energy and commodities businesses, including market entry and platform development, trading and commercial arrangements, financing, and regulatory compliance, with experience across carbon markets, sustainable fuels, and other energy‑transition‑related assets.

Glenn’s practice focuses on complex finance transactions for lenders, sponsors, and borrowers, with particular emphasis on energy, infrastructure, and private credit matters. His experience includes secured lending, project finance, structured products, leveraged and private credit transactions, restructurings, recapitalizations, and M&A‑related financings across upstream, midstream, and downstream energy, as well as LNG, carbon markets, and emerging hydrogen projects.

“Deanna and Glenn’s experience will be instrumental in supporting clients on complex, capital‑intensive energy transactions involving sophisticated financing structures, including private credit,” said Eric Blumrosen, co‑chair of �鶹ֱ��’s Energy & Infrastructure Sector. “Their practices align with the types of energy transactions our clients are executing today. We are excited to welcome Deanna and Glenn and look forward to the impact they will make on our team and clients.”

In a joint statement, Deanna and Glenn said, “As our practices have continued to evolve, we were looking for a platform that could support energy, commodities, and digital asset‑focused transactional and finance work at both a national and global level. �鶹ֱ��’s depth across energy, commodities, finance, and private credit, combined with its national reach, international relationships, and collaborative culture, creates an environment where we can continue to grow our practices and bring a broader range of capabilities to our clients.”
