About

Emma is an experienced projects lawyer and advises energy generators, large energy users, vendors, purchasers, government departments, local authorities, promoters, sponsors funders and contractors on all aspects of projects and project finance transactions, particularly in the renewables, clean heat, waste and energy sectors.

She is recognised in Legal 500 for her local government and renewables work in our Tier 1 ranked teams.

Emma helps clients put in place contractual solutions to develop robust energy projects, including fuel supply, heat supply/offtake, grid connection and power purchase agreements (with licensed suppliers, via private wire and through corporate PPAs), as week as providing energy regulatory advice, including in relation to licensing and relevant subsidy schemes.

She was a member of RenewableUK’s inaugural Shadow Board. RenewableUK is the UK’s leading not-for-profit renewable energy trade association, and has established the Shadow Board in order to support its main Board by providing a greater range of views on key issues. She was also a member of the UK Green Building Council’s working group on its Renewable Energy Procurement guidance.
