Holman Fenwick & Willan, the U.K. firm that moved into the U.S. in 2017 through a merger with Houston trial firm Legge, Farrow, Kimmitt, McGrath & Brown, has added its second U.S. lateral.

Energy transactions lawyer Fernando Cano-Lasa, who had been of counsel at Squire Patton Boggs in Houston and previously held a high-ranking in-house role, joined Holman Fenwick as a partner Monday. He works on corporate transactions including commercial agreements, energy operations and compliance, and his clients are based in the U.S., Mexico and elsewhere internationally.
