Robert “Rob” McGinley Jr. joins Jones Walker LLP as special counsel in the Corporate Practice Group and a member of the real estate team in the firm’s Mobile office.
McGinley is an experienced corporate attorney whose practice encompasses a broad range of commercial and real estate transactions, blending his background in legal private practice with deep industry knowledge gained through his leadership role in a natural gas company within the renewable energy sector. His practice focuses on mergers and acquisitions, stock and asset purchase agreements, commercial loan documentation, real estate transactions and complex operating agreements.
McGinley has particular experience in public-private partnerships throughout the renewable energy sector, having successfully negotiated municipal contracts and presented to city and county officials on complex public-private energy projects.
