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.

‘Suzanne Moir is responsive, committed and strives to understand our business and therefore our specific needs and risk areas. She is also great at building a rapport with her clients.’
‘The practice utilises a team of proficient and skilled staff to undertake required works. A cost effective working practice is established through the use of a team of varied seniority allowing more junior members to gain valuable experience while more senior employees can concentrate on more detailed technical issues.'
‘Steven McAllister has always been a joy to work with. His knowledge and specific experience within the energy sector means that he understands the, sometimes complex, commerciality of the projects we are working on and is always available to answer queries in a timely and professional manner.’
