Experienced global energy lawyers

Our global energy lawyers can help you with all aspects of clean energy law. Representative experience includes advising:

an international energy company in relation to its strategy to simultaneously develop multiple offshore wind farms in the UK
a FTSE 250 renewable energy investment company on the 100MW acquisition of solar PV projects
global energy storage fund on its new £180m debt facility with a syndicate of major international financial institutions. As a corporate facility funding merchant energy storage projects in the UK, this was the first transaction of its kind for the battery storage market
