expertise: energy & utilities
We know the importance of the rapidly changing and increasingly
international energy and utilities sectors and we have over twenty
lawyers dedicated to this area, servicing both utilities and their
customers. Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession ranked us in the
top category of law firms for energy - describing us as having an
"impressive range of expertise".
We advise on a wide range of contractual and regulatory
issues as well as providing consultancy services. Where necessary,
we bring into our team other specialists within the firm in order
to offer a legal service which is precisely tailored to our clients'
needs.
Areas covered include:
- water and sewerage
where we have particular expertise as legal adviser to three statutory
undertakers and one of the industry regulators
- electricity and gas
where we have advised on the development of gas and electricity
infrastructure, regulatory matters, the operation of competitive
markets and the contractual arrangements underlying the liberalised
energy sectors and the tax efficient funding of generation plant
such as CHP
- climate
change and renewable
energy, where we have worked on onshore and offshore windfarm
projects, other renewable energy capital projects, (using for
example coal mine methane and biomass), and greenhouse gas emissions
trading markets

processing facilities to meet the growing market for bioethanol

and offshore energy projects in the UK and internationally
