Led by Iain Duncan, Simmons & Simmons’ London-based power team provides comprehensive advice to sponsors, governments, and regulators on various power projects within the UK and globally. The team assists with power purchase and supply agreements, electricity generation and distribution issues, and electricity trading arrangements. In the nuclear power sector, it is noted for assisting the UK Government with infrastructure projects and major transactions. Juliet Reingold is a pivotal contact for nuclear power work - covering regulatory matters, acquisitions, and decommissioning - while Patrick Wallace’s broad practice covers transmission, supply, and distribution matters. Alex Blomfield and Marc Fèvre specialise in the development, construction, and financing of energy and infrastructure projects on a global scale, while Andrew Petry advises on complex financing and project development in the power and infrastructure space. Simon Kenolty is another key contact for PPPs and concession agreements. In June 2023, Serra Tar left the practice to join Kirkland & Ellis International LLP.
