Pillsbury partner Gavin Watson advises clients on complex corporate and commercial transactions, specializing in the energy and sustainable finance sector, as well as the development and financing of energy and infrastructure projects worldwide.

In recent years, Gavin’s practice has focused more closely on various aspects of the energy transition and the emerging circular economy, including advising one of the first floating offshore wind developers on its plans to decarbonize oil & gas operations and large onshore industrial processes, advising a leading fusion energy company on the development of a commercial scale demonstrator in the UK, and counseling several engineering and technology companies seeking to commercialise technologies and concepts that advance energy transition or enable growth of the circular economy. As traditional energy sources underpin energy security in the near term, Gavin continues to support clients on oil & gas, LNG, petrochemical and related transactions or projects. His experience spans Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
