Renewable Energy
Clean and green energy
The renewable energy industry is in the midst of rapid growth as demand for energy rises and the need to decarbonise continues. Ashurst is proud to be one of the world's leading law firms in the renewables sector, with a large team of energy focused lawyers located across our global network.
Dedicated renewables specialists
We act for sponsors, funders, contractors and authorities in relation to the acquisition, development, operation and financing and regulation of renewable projects across the globe including wind (onshore and offshore), solar (PV, CSP and rooftop), hydro, storage, geothermal and tidal. We have also acted on some of the largest and most significant disputes across the sector.
We are also active in other areas relevant to renewable energy, including Waste to Energy, Hydrogen, Carbon & CCUS and Green Technologies.
Water for power generation
Hydro projects constitute the largest renewable power generation source by installed capacity at 1,300GW globally.
Ashurst has advised on a number of major water power projects, including pumped hydro projects, tidal and geothermal. Our cradle-to-grave approach to each matter is symbolic of our capability to assist our clients with each stage in their bespoke legal process, from project planning and implementation strategies to end-of-life project completion.
Global expertise
Our ability to merge global reach and insight with local experience and understanding stems from our consistent activity across domestic and international markets servicing the needs of developers, contractors, financiers and investors.
I have experience working with other firms and also across the table from other firms and the individuals I have worked with at Ashurst are the best practitioners I have come across. Legal 500 Energy 2022
