We help organisations, funders and investors to deliver clean energy solutions and manage resources like water and waste. Whether you are looking at new ways to harness energy, implement clean energy generation or collect and source energy from waste, we will guide you through the legal processes.
We advise across the full lifecycle of legal issues from gaining planning consents and land rights to construction and operational management, and from securing investment and refinancing to advising on the project’s commercial contracts. Our experience includes working with different technologies, solutions and resources, helping to deliver projects that often involve many different stakeholders.
