Driving the transition to renewable power
Renewable power generation through wind, solar, hydro and other methods is one of the most visible aspects of the energy transition. The race is under way to plan, procure, develop, implement and sell renewable energy. This activity is central to discussions around climate change and, increasingly, calls for greater energy security driven by geopolitical instability.
We bring the cross-border reach and local presence that our clients need. We combine this with industry insights gained from advising on more renewable deals and projects than any other global law firm.
We represent developers, sponsors, equity investors, offtakers, lenders, multilateral institutions and government bodies and agencies.
Our experience covers development, construction, financing, M&A, sales, and investing in a diverse range of renewables and related projects. These include renewable power generation projects, energy storage facilities, utility-scale, distributed and residential solar, onshore, offshore and floating wind, biomass, and other innovations and technology-based matters. We also advise in tax, environmental, real estate, IP, employment, dispute resolution and arbitration matters.
“We bring the cross-border reach and local presence that our clients need. We combine this with industry insights gained from advising on more renewable deals and projects than any other global law firm.”
The renewables advice we provide is linked to our firm’s leadership and commitment to sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, which are central to responsible investing.
Our own journey to decarbonize includes becoming the first law firm in the world to sign a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) as an offtaker. When working on corporate PPAs, we can advise on guarantee of origin agreements and emission reductions. In solar power transactions, we can advise on supply chain issues relating to modern slavery.
We also have an open source approach, sharing best practice and explaining complex concepts through thought leadership and free global and regional guides. These platforms and resources mean you can understand challenges and opportunities in several jurisdictions without needing to search in multiple locations.
