Within the energy team there are over 150 lawyers covering the full life cycle of a project, from development, financing, construction, operation, revenue optimisation, trading, re-financing and M&A.

The team is essential to continue delivering top tier service to our energy clients as they deliver on their ESG/Net Zero commitments & projects.
