Renewable energy is reshaping industries, supply chains, and investment strategies worldwide.
Clients in this sector face evolving regulation, increased competition, and the need to balance innovation with commercial certainty, whether they are established operators, new entrants, or businesses transitioning to cleaner energy.
Clients often need clear advice on navigating new regulatory landscapes, structuring investments, securing project finance, and managing risk in unfamiliar markets. The complexity of renewable projects demands legal support that is both commercially focused and grounded in real-world sector experience.
Our multi-disciplinary team members bring decades of insight from advising developers, operators, service companies, contractors, insurers, funders, banks, clean tech start-ups, and SMEs. We support clients across the full range of renewables: solar, wind (onshore and offshore), hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, battery storage, EV charging, energy from waste, biomass/biofuels, tidal, hydro, and geothermal. Our approach is collaborative and tailored, drawing on cross-practice expertise to deliver strategic guidance and seamless support across borders and technologies.
Clients choose us for our ability to provide clear, practical solutions that help them manage risk and realise opportunity, wherever they are on their energy journey.
