Clean energy lawyer driving Net Zero commercial models

I’m a commercial energy and mobility lawyer with nearly 20 years’ experience advising on renewable infrastructure. I specialise in battery storage, solar, wind and EV charging, and work with funders, developers and asset owners on procurement, trading and optimisation. My recent work includes PPAs, carbon offset schemes and data-driven flexibility projects.

Before joining Shoosmiths, I advised on energy policy and chaired the Electricity Storage Network’s Markets and Revenues Group. I’ve led on landmark UK and international energy deals and am passionate about accelerating the transition to Net Zero through innovative commercial frameworks.

I’m recognised in Chambers UK and was named in The Lawyer’s Hot 100 for my work in battery storage and EV infrastructure. I regularly speak at industry events and contribute to Shoosmiths’ energy and mobility thought leadership.
