Dolly Mirchandani, a project finance specialist formerly of Allen & Overy, will join White & Case's New York office as a partner, her new firm announced Wednesday.

Mirchandani comes to White & Case after several years as a New York-based partner of Allen & Overy, which she joined in 2012 alongside Kent Rowey, a fellow energy and infrastructure finance lawyer. As of Wednesday, Rowey remained listed as a partner on Allen & Overy's website, and he did not respond to a request for comment regarding Mirchandani's move.

Mirchandani has focused on facilitating private investment in public infrastructure projects. Among other work, she advised institutional investors in a $1 billion tax exempt financing in 2012 for California's Carlsbad Desalination Project, which aims to convert ocean water into drinking water.
