Slaughter and May’s environment and climate change practice is well placed to advise on high-value corporate deals within the clean energy space. The team stands out for its environmental risk work across air, water, and land-based work, as well as within the energy sector, spanning renewables, and oil and gas. The team is headed up by Samantha Brady, who specialises in the environmental aspects of land and property-related matters. Richard Todd stands out for his work advising clients across a range of climate and environment-related matters, and is particularly noted for his green hydrogen work. Richard Keczkes, the firm’s head of planning, and Helena Cameron – who regularly supports the team on large transactions – are also recommended.

‘Sam Brady is excellent.’
‘The depth and breadth of knowledge within the team on Environmental legislation across multiple jurisdictions meant that working with the team gave us confidence that all legal aspects were very well covered.’
‘I worked very closely with both Helena Cameron and Richard Keczkes. Richard spent a lot of time working in the background on assessing our information against legal requirements and providing comprehensive yet practical approaches to our due diligence process. Working with Helena was an absolute pleasure. Her approach, demeanour, and collaborative style meant that I rarely felt out of my depth during my first due diligence gathering exercise of this scale.’
‘Strength and depth - accessible advice’
