Renewables

Objectively rated by sector commentators as leaders in the field, for our innovative work we were awarded:

2011 Adviser of the Year: Legal & Financial (Winner) Renewable Energy Infrastructure Awards
2010 Energy Team of the Year (Shortlisted) Legal Business Awards
2009 Energy/Infrastructure Team of the Year (Winner) The Lawyer Awards

Our history in the sector takes us back to the earliest renewable projects. Coupling this experience with our expertise across wind (on and off-shore), and biomass technologies places us at the forefront of specialist legal teams in the sector.

Our work, advising alongside the new power-generation technologies such as solar, wave and tidal, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis and hydrogen/fuel cells, has established us as one of a few genuine renewable energy practices nationally.

We advise a wide portfolio of clients across all major technologies, and with our long track record have accumulated a wealth of experience acting for landowners, developers, buyers/sellers, contractors, banks, off-takers, regulators and technology entrepreneurs. Agriculture/Landed Estates have a major role to play in renewable energy.  With Burges Salmon's reputation in these two areas we are ideally placed to advise businesses and major estates on investing in, developing and financing renewables.

Our experience covers the full plant project/life cycle – from early optioneering, planning, licensing and financing, through construction and operation to the full range of disposal strategies. We are particularly well known for our specialist niche work in areas such as decommissioning, site moth-balling, remediation and community benefit and ESCO structures.

There are few challenges we have not met before. Our experience means we can offer clients pro-active, and effective help and support from the outset. We understand the sector, its issues, risks and opportunities and can support clients equally through legal, commercial and regulatory compliance all the way to successful project delivery.
