Energy - Financing and insolvency


Commercial finance and insolvency advice for energy clients, supporting investment, refinancing and recovery through market cycles, with deep sector insight and pragmatic risk management.

Energy projects are capital intensive, long‑term and often exposed to market volatility, regulatory change and delivery risk. Securing appropriate funding, and managing financial distress where it arises, are critical to protecting project value and continuity.

How we can help

Our energy finance and insolvency lawyers advise clients across the full financial lifecycle of energy assets, from initial funding and refinancing through to restructuring, enforcement and insolvency. We act for developers, investors, lenders, operators and public sector bodies, providing joined‑up advice that reflects the commercial and regulatory realities of the energy sector.

Working closely with our wider energy team, we deliver clear, practical advice that supports bankability, investor confidence and effective risk management in both stable and distressed scenarios.

Our experience

We have experience advising on the financing and restructuring of energy and infrastructure projects across renewables, heat networks, energy efficiency schemes and major regulated assets.

Our experience includes advising on:

  • Project finance, development finance and refinancing of energy assets
  • Public sector and grant‑funded energy projects
  • Security packages, intercreditor arrangements and enforcement
  • Distressed energy assets, restructurings and rescue options
  • Insolvency processes affecting energy developers, operators and contractors

We regularly support clients where financial issues intersect with planning, regulatory and operational considerations, helping to stabilise projects, protect stakeholders and preserve long‑term value.

Our integrated approach ensures that financing and insolvency advice is aligned with the wider legal and commercial framework of each energy project.
