Renewables

Renewable energy agreements, explained in plain terms.

Wind, hydro, biomass and solar: we guide landowners and farmers from heads of terms to commercial generation and beyond.

Advising landowners on renewable energy

Our solicitors have acted for a significant number of landowners, farmers and property owners in renewable energy transactions. We have advised and assisted clients with wind farms, hydroelectric, biomass and solar farm projects.

With you for the life of the project

We take a project from initial heads of terms, past construction, to commercial generation and beyond. We act as an intermediary between you and the developer and their solicitor, helping you to understand complex legal documents with significant long-term consequences.
