A Dedicated Team

Our dedicated Renewable Energy legal team provides outstanding renewables legal advice, working across mainland Britain and on our offshore islands.

Our dedicated team is exactly that – a team. In addition to the breadth of our legal expertise we have an unmatched enthusiasm for the industry and more renewables experience than we care to remember. We’re a fully integrated, commercially aware team who can deal with any aspect of your project, from inception to completion, regardless of scope, generating capacity or timescale.

Our team will help you bring your renewables project to fruition.

Since 1997, the team has worked on over 50 Scottish renewables projects for clients of all sizes, generating over 3,000MW and covering on shore and offshore wind, hydro, biomass, energy from waste, wave and tidal generation. Our experience covers everything from small hydro projects for individuals and island communities to significant infrastructure projects for major developers.
