Brodies LLP ‘has a strong offering in the energy space across multiple legal disciplines’ and delivers astute advice to an array of investment managers, energy operators, and utilities. Renewables projects remain a flagship component of the team’s work, with both onshore and offshore wind and associated battery storage facilities regularly at the fore. Further engagement with pumped hydro, district heating and hydrogen projects are also evident in the team's portfolio of mandates. Spearheading the practice is Keith Patterson who is equally proficient across M&A and project finance and has been recently active on a number of substantial greenfield projects. Co-head Kirsty Macpherson is a key name for developers and landowners seeking development counsel, and is well-regarded for her specialist crofting advice. Sarah-Jane McArthur ’is widely recognised for her breadth and depth of experience in the heat networks sector’ and is ‘informed by a deep understanding of both the Scottish and wider UK market and of the emerging regulatory framework’, while Alix Bearhop advises on a range of assets from a real estate perspective. The renewables-focused Claire Reid and Donna Cooper also come recommended for their far-reaching practices.
