‘Knowledge, expertise, and judgement’ are the hallmarks of Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP’s parliamentary and infrastructure consenting practice, which counts among its client portfolio major players in the transport, energy, and ports sectors, all relying on the team’s extensive experience with hybrid and private bills, legislative drafting, and the promotion of or opposition to major infrastructure projects. Widely acknowledged for its position promoting the HS2 railway project, the practice is also well versed in advising on projects advanced by way of DCOs, TWAOs, and Harbour Orders. The ’approachable, experienced’ Roll A Parliamentary Agents Stephen Collings and James O’Connor lead the offering, acting for a roster of major rail and energy companies, transport authorities, and local councils. Key support is offered by infrastructure and renewable energy specialist Juliet Clark. The team is rounded out by Jessica Craven, who advises key transport, energy, and water stakeholders, and Darren White, who is sought after for assistance with rail and energy infrastructure authorisation processes.
