Renewables

We work with governments, developers, corporates, utilities, private equity sponsors, infrastructure funds, financiers, operators, and institutional investors on their renewable energy activities globally.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of legal, regulatory, environmental, tax, and planning issues that impact renewables projects, and we are engaged as lead advisers by the most significant players in the industry. 

We have dedicated renewables teams on every continent supported by long-standing relationships with top-tier firms in every market where we don’t have a presence.  

Advisors on the biggest projects and investments globally 

Our project development and finance team is renowned as one of the strongest in the world and works together with our finance, capital markets, corporate and M&A, private capital, tax, litigation, and international arbitration groups to deliver a seamless service to our clients.  

We have advised on some of highest-profile matters in the market, including major offshore and onshore wind, solar photovoltaic and hydropower developments and acquisitions across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. We have also represented clients in disputes and arbitrations arising from renewable energy investments and contracts. 

We have deep relationships with policymakers, regulators, associations and academic institutions across the world, and contribute to the most important debates on renewable energy issues.
