Washington’s Next Move: Energy, Capital and Transatlantic Opportunity

As Americans head to the polls on November 3, what should French financial institutions and energy companies watch—and where could new opportunities emerge?

Join Bracewell’s Paris partners, Anne Lapierre and Arnaud Bélisaire, and Washington policy strategists Dee Martin and Andrew Shaw for a timely discussion of how the 2026 U.S. midterm elections could shape energy markets, infrastructure investment and transatlantic business.

Tobias Glucksman, Senior Economic Advisor to the US Ambassador and Valérie Faudon, General Delegate of the French Nuclear Energy Society (SFEN) and Vice-President of the European Nuclear Society (ENS) will join the conversation.

The discussion will focus on the decisions that matter to investors, lenders and energy companies:

• Deploying capital: How tax policy, energy incentives and permitting could affect project economics and investment certainty.
• Meeting power demand: Opportunities in nuclear energy, grid modernization and the infrastructure supporting AI and data centers.
• Doing business across the Atlantic: Implications of tariffs, trade policy and supply chain priorities for financing, partnerships and market access.
• Reading Washington: What a shift in congressional control could mean for legislative priorities, oversight and the administration’s energy agenda.

As Election Day unfolds, our panel will identify the signals to watch and their implications for business planning.

An interactive audience Q&A and a cocktail reception will follow.

Event will be hosted in English.

Places are limited, please confirm your attendance.
