Addleshaw Goddard remains active on behalf of lenders, developers and investors on an array of renewables and energy transition projects, and has looked to bolster its market offering through the hire of David Cruickshank from Dentons and Steven McAllister from Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP, who both arrived in 2023. The firm has established strength in regulatory and development issues, including energy consenting, grid, and environmental concerns, and has a roster of landmark projects that require a global, multi-disciplinary team of specialists. Helming the practice is Alan Shanks, an esteemed M&A and financing adviser who has most recently been active on wind, solar and EV charging mandates. Co-lead David McEwing handles M&A and PE transactions for a number of large-cap sponsors and asset managers, while co-head Sarah Baillie has been prolific in the clean tech space, overseeing battery storage, liquid air storage, and carbon capture storage ventures. Suzanne Moir is vital to public sector clients due to her extensive procurement proficiencies, and Fiona Gordon handles a varied stream of contentious and non-contentious planning and environment instructions in both the public and private sector.
