Construction for energy projects

 

Specialist construction advice for energy projects, supporting delivery, managing risk and resolving disputes across renewables and infrastructure, with deep sector insight and a pragmatic, solutions‑focused approach.

Energy projects present unique construction challenges, from complex procurement strategies and evolving technical standards to regulatory change and delivery risk. Whether developing renewable generation, heat networks or major infrastructure, clients need construction lawyers who understand the realities of the energy sector.

Our energy construction team advise across the full lifecycle of energy projects. From procurement and contract drafting through to legal advisory and risk management during delivery and operation, including dispute avoidance and resolution. We provide clear, commercial advice that supports programme certainty, risk allocation and bankability.

By combining construction, engineering and energy expertise, we help clients anticipate issues early, navigate change and keep projects on track in a fast‑moving and often highly regulated environment.

Our experience

We advise developers, funders, contractors, asset owners, site licence companies and public sector bodies on the construction of energy and infrastructure projects across the UK [and further afield]. Our experience spans both contentious and non‑contentious work, allowing us to support clients proactively and, where needed, robustly protect their position.

Our team advises on projects involving renewables (including onshore and offshore wind), heat networks, energy‑from‑waste, battery storage, nuclear (decommissioning and new power generation) and gas. We regularly work with standard and bespoke forms of contract, including NEC,FIDIC and IChemE often adapted to reflect the technical and regulatory demands of energy projects. [This includes extensive experience advising on EPC and turnkey arrangements, long term O&M agreements, and PPP and concession structures (including PFI style models).]

Clients value our integrated approach, drawing on planning, real estate, regulatory, projects and disputes specialists, to address construction risk within the wider commercial and operational context of the energy transition.
