CMS offers comprehensive advice to a deep roster of clients on a range of complex transactions, projects, and disputes in the renewables and alternative energy space. Leveraging its global footprint, the firm’s expertise extends to the development of offshore and onshore wind projects, greenfield portfolio acquisitions, and strategic counsel on green hydrogen production. The energy and climate change group is led by Munir Hassan, who routinely advises on low carbon projects as well as offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and biomass transactions. He is regularly assisted by clean energy specialist Louise Dalton, a key contact for matters related to energy storage and batteries, and the transition to net-zero. The team also benefits from the regulatory insights provided by Matthew Brown, particularly in navigating the complex regulatory landscape surrounding renewable energy initiatives. Dalia Majumder-Russell further enhances the team’s expertise with her knowledge of renewable energy transactions, commercial agreements, and regulatory frameworks, while corporate specialist Charles Currier is another key contact for complex transactions in the renewables sector.
